I would suggest a few things:

At first please correct the license tag. Actually it is tagged as BSD but it's 
dual licensed GPLv2 and BSD. Take a look into the README.

Second thing is to take the latest stable release of wpa_supplicant (actually 
0.58). You can also update the madwifi-headers to the latest release, but this 
isn't essential.

Furthermore I think it's worse to patch this software in so many ways it is 
actually done. The problem that wpa_supplicant isn't working correctly in 
Fedora 7 and 8 does not come from wpa_supplicant itself, it's a major issue of 
DBUS in the kernel. It would be smarter to fix this issue then to patch a 
software to work with other buggy software.
