I've never been happy with atrpms as a repository for Fedora. Both
FreshRPMs and livna offer madwifi driver options. FreshRPMs's package
depends on Dell's dkms package. This makes it possible for the madwifi
kernel modules to be automagically rebuilt each time you boot to a new
kernel. The livna package is called kmod-madwifi and they maintain separate
packages for each kernel.
FWIW, I use an Atheros a/b/g chipset-based WIFI card too. I planned ahead
and downloaded the driver package to my home directory before I started the
F7 install and everything went very, very smooth.
