Yes - I will be using madwifi myself soon, there is a src.rpm for it
that allegedly works with fc3 at
http://pipiche.free.fr/Downloads/Fedora/SRPMS/
(link at bottom seems to be newest)
I thin atrpms also has it, but I looked at their spec file and did not
like it - uses too many macros that are not standard to Fedora rpm. I
can read and understand exactly what the src.rpm at the above link
does, and build it w/o needing to have special macros defined - meaning
I can update it from cvs myself if need be.
Looks like it uses a binary only portion that kernel taints due to a
FCC regulation - so we'll probably never see it in Fedora Core, unless
there is a way to separate out the binary part from the kernel module
so that it no longer taints the kernel. But I don't know if that is
possible.
