Should this work with madwifi-ng?  I see that wpa_supplicant is built
with the madwifi-ng headers.  I put:

INTERFACES=-iath0
DRIVERS=-Dmadwifi

in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and enabled NetworkManager,
NetworkManagerDispatcher, and wpa_supplicant to start on boot.

It seems that wpa_supplicant interferes with NM's scanning though; NM
wouldn't find anything while wpa_supplicant was running and logged:

Feb  6 15:26:42 cmathink NetworkManager: <WARNING>       nm_device_802_11_wireless_scan (): nm_device_wireless_scan(ath0): couldn't trigger wireless scan.  errno = 22

If I stop wpa_supplicant and try to connect to a WPA network with NM, I
get:

  Error connecting to wireless network

  The requested wireless network requires security capabilities
  unsupported by your hardware.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
