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.
