I thought it was obvious, but to clarify, the "involved Makefiles"
 is really just the one Makefile from madwifi-ng project.

I was not trying to ask the general question, "How do I install modules?",
 but rather a specific, "How do I get madwifi modules to install
*where I want them?*".

Is the default placement, /lib/modules/<whatever>/net, really the preferred
 location?  Is this because the modules are "out-of-kernel-tree"?

Yes, but then the files are moved after the depmod, and when trying to
 place modules into a target directory rather than the ...  oh, nevermind.

I'll see if I can find an example from another, out-of-tree, driver, and
 submit a patch. :)
