[pkg-wpa-devel] wpasupplicant and madwifi

Hi,

I do not quite understand the reason for removing support for madwifi-old.
Situation:
madwifi-ng is supported by wext driver (there was a short transition period 
before madwifi-0.9.0 where this was not the case).
madwifi-old could stay supported by the madwifi driver.

Thus, you have enabled doubled support for madwifi-ng and no support for 
madwifi-old.

I will not report this as bug but since you could easily support madwifi-old, 
it should be done. Note that the change madwifi-old -> madwifi-ng is 
none-trivial and problems with madwifi-ng exist that madwifi-old didn't have!
