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.
