LOL! rebooting, again? The kernel was already installed, you merely
added the corresponding madwifi module, so a "depmod -a" followed by an
appropriate modprobe command should have been more than sufficient to
load the driver.

If there were no results from the modprobe command perhaps there are
other problems. Could you see any pertinent messages when running
"dmesg" or "tail /var/log/messages" immediately after the modprobe command?
