So you have a BCM4318 chipset which should work with the newest kernels
2.6.17+
If you are running something older then think about grabbing a copy of
the kernel
tree and building it yourself.

Web site that is did the driver.

A walk thru on getting it up and running inside ndiswrapper on ubuntu

With fc5 you might just want to plug the laptop into an ethernet connection long
enough to run yum update which should get a later kernel that should
have support
for that chip set.  The cds have a 2.6.15 kernel but the latest update
is 2.6.17.3

Also if you do get it to work read this page and send them the
details. They would
like to know.
