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/Fedora/SRPMS/madwifi-0.0.20050217-1.src.rpm
    http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/packages/kismet/kismet-3.0.1-3.200504r1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
    http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/packages/kernel-module-madwifi/kernel-smp-module-madwifi-0.0.20040107-1_2.4.21_9.0.1.EL.rhel3.test.i586.rpm
    http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/packages/kernel-module-madwifi/madwifi-utils-0.0.20040312-0.rhfc1.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
