I've gotten an answer why madwifi still is in the unsupported tree. Rather it is since madwifi never made an official release, and after i talked with the madwifi authors today, they don't consider their driver is ready for a release.
Therefore, madwifi will still be built from CVS for the next time, what won't bring it to the arch reponsitorys. Well, i can live with that, but at least i got a very detailed description why madwifi won't move to the arch repo.
