Check dmesg and see what errors are reported during loading the modules.

You have no association with any AP. Without association you can't get a
DHCP lease. Compare it to not plugging in the cable of a normal Ethernet
card into a switch or something.

So far there is nothing that indicates that MadWifi is NOT supporting your
card. It has been recognized, the necessary interfaces are created... you
now need to get associated with an AP as the next step.
