I had this problem, I seem to recall the underlying issue is that the 
wrong version of the ieee80211 API is being chosen by the makefile 
somehow.  Looks like I worked around it by just after the Makefile line 
that says (line 90 by my reckoning)

IEEE80211_API := $(shell sed -ne 
"s:\#define.*IEEE80211_API_VERSION[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\).*:\1:p" 
$(IEEE80211_PATH)net/ieee80211.h)

destroying its wrongly computed version by adding this:

IEEE80211_API := 2
