Sadly Rony, Fedora does not work that way. Since Fedora does not ship any
proprietary code, you will have to depend on the external rpmfusion
repository, going through the standard yum/packagekit interfaces. The good
news is, at least on the wireless front, there are a vanishingly small
number of cards that need proprietary-love(Thank embedded for that). From
what i hear, he just has a variant of the intel 4965AGN, and should be
working fine on f14.
