No, this doesn't have any effect. The issue is that madwifi and wlanconfig function very differently from iwconfig.

With wlanconfig and madwifi, there is one master interface, wifi0. On top of that interfaces are added of a particular mode:

AVAILABLE MODES
       ahdemo Create the station in ad-hoc demo (aka pseudo IBSS) mode.

       adhoc Create the station in ad-hoc mode.

       ap Create the VAP in AP mode.

       monitor
              Create the station in monitor mode.

       sta Create the VAP in station mode.

       wds Create the station in WDS mode.

Once an interface (vap) is created, its type cannot be changed. One vap with infrastructure mode is created at module load time by default.
