Try something like this:

cd /tmp
apt-get source madwifi-source
cd madwifi-source-*
patch -p1 < /the/patch
$EDITOR debian/changelog
# Create a new changelog entry at the start, with a new version number,
# e.g. append "custom" at the end.
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
sudo dpkg -i ../madwifi-source_newversion.deb
cd /usr/src
sudo module-assistant update
sudo module-assistant prepare
sudo module-assistant auto-install madwifi

YMMV, etc.
