You need to install the module appropriate for your kernel.

yum install kernel-module-madwifi-`uname -r`

Once that is installed (and that may be all you need) you can then

yum install madwifi

Only the kernel module is needed though to use an atheros wifi card.

I haven't tested recently - but in the past, I've also had manually put

alias ath0 ath_pci

into /etc/modprobe.conf
