Hi,

The 'OP' has the ieee80211 stack for the kernel. The mac80211 is not stable but experimental as by the note on the Intel web page. You can look at the README for mac80211 to get more information.

edit: you could be mistaking the ieee80211softmac.ko as the module to use. Some of the cards need this module.
