The packages are named as

madwifi-kmdl-<uname -r or the kernel you want them for>-...

So just do

echo madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`-...

and you'll know what the package name starts with.

Note that due to licensing issue you will need two kmdls the GPL'd
"madwifi" and the closed source "madwifi-hal" kmdls.
