Source code is available as CVS or daily snapshot.
Older:
http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-old-current.tar.gz

Next Generation:
http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-ng-current.tar.gz

IIRC, I was able to compile this using the familiar drill:
../configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

There are slack.Builds by Eric Hameleers at:

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/madwifi/

If you want you can use the buildscript for the madwifi-ng code-base,
just change the packagename in the script and the slack-desc and all
should be well (IIRC; I did this on Tuesday).

I am lazy (read: busy)... I have not built a new package for a long
time... I will do my best for madwifi-ng soon.

Try
http://madwifi.org/

I simply did
make
make install
or if you want to make package,
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/wireless
cd /tmp/wireless
... do your stuff ...
makepkg name-version-i486-1.tgz
installpkg name-version-i486-1.tgz

../install/doinst.sh is nothing more than 'depmod', which I copied from
other packages, ie. :-)

# A good idea whenever kernel modules are added or changed:
if [ -x sbin/depmod ]; then
chroot . /sbin/depmod -a 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
fi

../install/slack-desc (for my setup) is as follows:

wireless-2.6.14: Wireless drivers for 2.6.14 kernels:
wireless-2.6.14: Ralink 2400 (PCI), 2500 (PCI), 2570 (USB), 2561 (PCI)
wireless-2.6.14: ZyDAS 1211 (USB)
wireless-2.6.14: Atheros 521[0123] aka. MadWiFi (PCI)

The slack.build itself hardly needed any change (packagename and
version, and the new location of the source-code). The real difference
was the configuration. With the old code, everything more or less
immediately worked after installing the madwifi-package and adding ath0
to rc.inet1.conf. With the new code, I had to add some info to
/etc/hotplug/net.agent and add /etc/rc.d/rc.madwifi-ng, as per the
instructions at

http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Slackware

And then it took me some more time to figure out that I had to add the
following to modprobe.conf

install wifi0 /sbin/modprobe ath_pci
remove wifi0 /sbin/modprobe -r ath_pci ; /sbin/modprobe -r wlan_wep;
/sbin/modprobe -r wlan_scan_sta

However, I now got the thing up and working. Anyway, hope this helps a
little with making new packages, and thanks very much for the effort
already expended!
