Chicken and egg madwifi question

I'm running fc3 on my computer and almost ready to upgrade to fc4. I have a wireless card using madwifi from atrpms.net. If I upgrade to fc4, I'll be running 2.6.11-1.1369. Axel's web site only has a prebuilt module for the latest 2.6.12 kernels and I haven't been able to find any old modules on the net. Trying to build the module using the source rpm gets me this:

$ rpmbuild -bb madwifi-0.9.4.12-16.rhfc4.at.spec
error: line 1: Unknown tag: %kmdl madwifi


So, my choices are the following:

1. Figure out how to build the module from the source rpm. Anyone know what I'm missing to build it?

2. Do the upgrade and have the 2.6.12 kernel and madwifi module already downloaded and hope I don't run into a dependency problem.

3. Find someplace on the net that archives old madwifi modules for the original fc4 kernel version.

Obviously, number 3 is the best choice, if I can find such a site. What's the best solution to the problem?
