IMHO Fedora needs a special application that assist you at downloading things (like this firmware) and then builds RPMs from the files automatically.
The mscorefonts package does this pretty well. You just download the file, type one command, and you've got an RPM, every time. I think it's http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
The mscorefont relies on fixed urls.
A lot of the non-free material is hidden behind click-through forms (including accepting restrictive licenses) designed specifically to make automated download impossible.
