It's because of the proprietary HAL. Don't fret though -- there are
attempts to fix this ;)

Better yet use our image, created Auguest 08, 2006:

wireless-dev-madwifi-libmac.ndz

This is based on madwifi-0.9.1. Madwifi is a perfect example of
bastardization of ioctl() through Linux Wireless Extensions though. So
to summarize, in order to support Kishore's libmac through the old
ioctl() mechanisms we were forced to remove WMM extensions from
madwifi. The proper solution really is to ditch madwifi altogether but
that won't happen for a bit longer. If you need WMM we can prep up a
configfs solution for you rather soon.
