There's a module for this in the staging kernel, but it's not in the mainline yet. Fedora doesn't build staging, but RPM Fusion (http://rpmfusion.org/). Install the kmod-staging meta package, and it will install the correct kmod-staging package for your kernel.

I believe the driver name is r8712u.
