I know I could compile this with a normal HD install, but I don't know what to do to make it work in a Frugal install since the file system is not writeable and the package wants to load all of the files into /lib/modules/2.4.31/net which is read-only

Hi
If you use the mydsl function to load your files try renaming it to madwifi.dsl from madwifi.tar.gz.  Mydsl deals with files named .dsl differently and makes more of the file system writeable while doing the load.
good luck

OK, thank you. That does allow them to go into the right place, however, that takes place after hardware detection, so they don't load. What should be the next step to make this work?

When I run depmod I get an error that says that /lib/modules/2.4.31/modules.dep is not able to be opened for writing.
