Should work out-of-the box. What does:
snmpwalk -v 1 -Os -c public localhost if
say?
you should see something like:
ifDescr.X = STRING: ath0
Where X is a number.

You should be able to see the network interfaces and then one of them 
will point to ath0
Then
snmpget -v 1 -Os -c public localhost ifPhysAddress.X
will return the MAC address of the madwifi card.

If this doesn't work then you should google to find out how to set up 
snmpd correctly.
