I could contribute this to freshrpms.  I put an srpm here:
https://nbecker.dyndns.org/RPM/madwifi-ng-1.fc6.src.rpm 

A few things that could be cleaned up:
1) named madwifi-ng.  The original tarball extracts this way, so it was 
easier.
2) More than the minimal kernel source is put into /usr/src.  Not worth my 
time to fix this, but be my guest.
