That is correct, and modprobe -l /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7/extra/madwifi will
seem to execute properly. However modprobe ath_pci always fails, as no such file or directory.

I have removed both madwifi & kmdl with the yum remove and the reinstalled, made no difference. Where should the madwifi be installed at. One would normally think the yum installer would locate the files in the proper location. Of course, there is no such guarantee.

Used the following to make the install. http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/RedHat and
http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/madwifi-yum-livna/.
