Would something like out-of-tree/drivers/net/wireless/ath be
appropriate instead?  It can be convenient to maintain installed
files in an explicit hierarchy of directories, or at least to keep
all files from madwifi in their own dedicated subdirectory even
with a shorter path.

Note that the "drivers/net/wireless/ath" subpath can already be
found in patches/README and patches/2.6/Kconfig.patch; I didn't
make a new one up.
