If madwifi has been installed, there would be an
/usr/include/madwifi/include/compat.h.  That is a prereq to be able to compile
the wpa_supplicant "driver" for this type of wifi device (really just a
wpa_supplicant module, not an OS driver).

Well wpa-supplicant-0.6.inc has this:

do_configure () {
        install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/defconfig-0.6.0-gnutls  .config

        if [ "x$HAS_PCI" == "x1" ] ; then
                echo "CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y" >> .config
                echo "CFLAGS += -I${STAGING_INCDIR}/madwifi-ng" >> .config
        fi
}

Why does having PCI imply that your wireless card needs the madwifi driver?  We
need something like a gentoo use flag to control whether you need it or not. 
On my target system I don't need it.

And anyway, this recipe didn't actually ensure that the madwifi stuff is in
staging beforehand.
