Chances are you upgraded the package at some point and some of the
build files from the previous version were not removed.  DKMS
continues to try to build the previous version because the build
directory is still present, but fails because the upgrade removed the
sources.

I've reported this with dkms-fuse at least once in the past; it
wouldn't surprise me that madwifi has the same glitch.

Look in /var/lib/dkms, probably under /var/lib/dkms/madwifi, for
directories related to older versions of the package, and remove
those.  Just be sure NOT to remove any directories whose names match
the most recent installed version.
