A bit more digging and it seems that maybe MadWifi isn't what I need....trying to install some other drivers...

http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Distribution_list/Fedora

From lspci:
01:08.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface

A bit of googling leads me to believe I've actually been trying to use MadWifi when I should be using a different driver (acx111).
