You might want to note that there are 3 versions: v1, v2, v3.

First thing you should try is installing: (yum install)

kernel-module-madwifi-$(uname -r) madwifi

from livna: http://rpm.livna.org/

it might just detect it. (note that it is both kernel module and program)

You can also try ndiswrapper:

for this: yum install kernel-module-ndiswrapper-$(uname -r) ndiswrapper
