Why are you using F10? This is well out of support and if it's just a case
that the hardware is too new for the kernel there is no assistance that
that can be provided.

It would seem likely that F10 back in 2009 did not support this.

Why not? You are currently running an OS that is so far out of date it's
not even funny...

I thought you couldn't run F19 on your system? This would indeed indicate a
driver as opposed to hardware problem - the correct solution of course
would be to then upgrade. If you cannot run current Fedora for some reason
I woudl suggest trying your setup with a long term support distribution
such as CentOS 6 to ensure that you get security updates on a stable base.
