I have the Fusion Gold.  Not quite the same driver but a vanilla kernel did
it for me.  I followed a howto for a vanilla kernel upgrade.  I went to
2.6.15 using this howto:

but that is for ubuntu.   Google 'vanilla kernel howto Fedora'.  It was
pretty straight forward.  Only mistake I made initially was I didn't check
smp kernel which caused hyperthreading not to be enabled.   Enabling that
and recompiling made a huge performance improvement.
