The only problem is to compile it with the current iw_handler.h file. Take the old one of Fedora 7 and use it temporarily just to compile the madwifi sources. Additionally you have to prevent loading eth5k removing it from modules.dep.

I have a eeepc 701 Fedora 9 installed and I had the problem with the 
Fedora Driver, I track down the madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz and 
compiled with no problems and got my wireless card working with WEP
One thing you have to do is goto /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and blacklist 
ath5k  fedora driver.
