We have a madwifi-source package, which seems to be used as a build

Given than madwifi support currently prevent wpa_supplication 1.0 to build
(conflicting types declaration for ‘u_int64_t'), and than we seems to be
perfectly happy without madwifi driver package in the distribution, is it
reasonable to consider than:
- we no longer need the 'madwifi-source' package ?
- madwifi support in wpa_supplication isn't needed anymore ?
I dropped support for this driver from hostapd because of that build
problem, but I don't know if anyone is going to complain about that.
AFAICT there is now an alternative "free" driver for these devices: ath5k.
