Did you actually enable rpmforge in your yum?  Or just use the madwifi 
that is in Scientific Linux?
   rpm -qa | grep madwifi | sort

Also, do you have NetworkManager turned on?  And is it set to turn on 
during bootup?  (By default NetworkManger isn't turned on by default)

   /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
   /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 NetworkManager on

And finally, as John asked, what messages are you getting in 
/var/log/messages
