The easiest is to let smart/yum/apt do their job with something like

yum install madwifi madwifi-`uname -r`

(you need to activate atrpms in your depsolver setup).

If you need to download by hand then probably you will need (for i686,
non-smp, non-xen0):

http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i686.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i686.rpm
