While not the same chipset, my ASUS 1201N uses the RT8192SE which
requires drivers from realtek.com [1] and have yet to be supported by
upstream kernel.org (and as such, by Fedora).
While initially, the drivers were alpha quality at best, the latest
update (March) improved them considerably. Hopefully, it'll be the same
in your case.

- As root, install the kernel-devel, gcc and make packages.
- Download the right driver from realtek [1].
- Unpack the file.
- cd <while the files were unpacked>
- make
- Switch to root. ($ su)
- make install
You should the see the make install a file called rt8191se*.ko
- modprobe rt8191se...ko
- /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
And Hopefully, your wireless should be detected just fine.

Never the less, be advised that these drivers are under heavy
development and that your millage may vary.
