There is -- the userland portions are both in a package called 
"madwifi". The  livna kmod-packages requires it via the virtual-provides 
"madwifi-kmod-common", provided by the livna madwifi-package and not 
present in the atrpms package (note: don't read this as "it's atrpms 
fault"; atrpms and livna just use different schemes that don't mix well).
