Well, my experience is with FC2/FC3/FC4. (Yes, it's been going on that
long!)
There is an installation driver disk, released by someone, possibly Dave
Jones, for FC3 and FC4. To be honest, the machines that I have that
require the driver are all behind hardware firewalls and the local users
are trusted, so I have just continued to use the same kernel, skipping
updates on these machines. So I don't remember where to go to get the
disk. Anyway, that's fedora anyway.
However, this page:

may be of help to you.
