madwifi and rpm installer???


Hi,
Well...one of the reasons why I finaly made my way to FC2 ( 64 bit) is because there are MadWifi RPMs available and I am way to lazy to compile the drivers myself. But...I can't figure out what program to use to install RPM files. There is file roller but it is the equivolent of "ARC". What I am looking for is what is equivolent to Yast2 in SUSE or Kinstaller in Yoper. Just a program that you open that installs RPMs resolving everything.

...and as long as we are on the topic of RPMs....

Which WINE and Madwifi RPM do i need exactly (i have kernel 2.8.1 for x86-64)
