I don't believe so. They aren't in the upstream kernel, so therefore they won't be in the Fedora Core kernel. Fedora could package just the drivers, but Fedora _can't_ package the firmware that you need to be able to use the card, since the firmware isn't "free" as in OSS, same as Debian. Livna's repository would probably have them though if they don't already. Dan
