If you use yum, try creating a new file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ (e.g.
extras.repo) with the following:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

[Pipiche]
name= Pipiche RPM Repository for Fedora Core -
baseurl=http://pipiche.perso.cegetel.net/Fedora/Core/base/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

If you use up2date, edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to include these lines:

yum dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$ARCH/dag
yum pipiche http://pipiche.perso.cegetel.net/Fedora/Core//base/

You'll need to import the GPG key:
rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

I would suggest you use yum since it will also pull any required
dependencies:
yum install madwifi kismet
or
yum install kernel-module-madwifi madwifi-utils
depending on which madwifi packages you want. The madwifi rpm is listed for
FC3 but will work with RHEL4. The kernel-module-madwifi is older so I
wouldn't mess with that unless you get stuck.

Alternatively, you can download and install the appropriate packages from:
http://pipiche.free.fr/Downloads/Fe...50217-1.src.rpm
http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/...el4.rf.i386.rpm
http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/...3.test.i586.rpm
http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/...1.test.i686.rpm

Personally, I downloaded the madwifi-0.0.20050217-1.src.rpm from Pipiche,
recompiled it to generate the .i386.rpm files (rpmbuild --rebuild
madwifi-0.0.20050217-1.src.rpm) and successfully installed them on my RHEL4
AS system.

In general, if you are trying to find RPMs take a look at:
rpmseek.com
Rpmfind.Net
ATrpms
RPM pbone.net
CentOS

Since you are trying to setup a wireless connection, you might find these
links interesting:

Open1x
WPA Supplicant
Linuxant
MADWiFi
Linux & Wireless LANs
linux-wlan
Linuxnet.com
