You may want to try editing /boot/grub/grub.conf & add
 "pci=usepirqmask" and/or "acpi=off" to your kernel line following 
root=LABEL=/1.  I have not needed either for my mythbox in FC4, but I 
needed "acpi=off" in FC3, and I had to use both on my mom's laptop to 
get the wireless card recognized in FC4.  You'll have to edit grub.conf 
& then reboot.  It may be worth a try.
