wireless-2.6 doesn't have this:

Staging: netwave: delete the driver
It has sat in the staging directory since October of 2009, and no one
has stepped up to take it over, so odds are, no one cares about it
anymore. So, it is now deleted as scheduled, and documented in the TODO
file.

You should probably just turn-off that driver in your .config.
Anyway, I normally recommend that people use wireless-testing for
actual development.
