You shouldn't have to do any kernel recompiling. If you had a working 
internet connection, it could all be done via yum. There are many 
madwifi packages in the repos, like madwifi, 
madwifi-hal-kmdl-?kernelnumber, madwifi-kmdl-?kernelnumber, etc., 
without those packages, your not going to get very far.
