Hi! The reason for this is that some parts of madwifi are non-free (the HAL). The Fedora project decided not to ship non-free parts, which includes proprietary ATI drivers, proprietary NVIDIA drivers and Madwifi in order to encourage the vendors to publish specifications and / or free drivers. This worked for ATI, and we will have free drivers supporting newer chipsets available soon. Fedora 8 will ship with ath5k, which is open source and supports Atheros chipsets, also. The madwifi developers develop it now.
