No it does not exist.  And I have been crafting ifcfg-<interface> files 
for years so I know why I need these.  How does this get created in 
F10?  Given that this is a madwifi, is there any other file needed? (my 
experience is limited to Centos 5 so I am use to seeing ath0 and wifi0 
interfaces).
