Good question. It doesn't seem to be in the adobe repos any more.

Try http://www.szivarvanynet.hu/download/linux/
flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm

The rpm there matches my local copy.

# md5sum /var/lib/yum/repo/x86_64/
flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm
fe8a084b6c9e83740e1e3353f19d04e1  /var/lib/yum/repo/x86_64/flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm

Install nspluginwrapper for both archs and run
# mozilla-plugin-config --help
