Hi and Welcome to the forums.
Please post your errors, maybe someone could help you out a bit, and while you're at it, issue this command to identify your chipset.
Code:
/sbin/lspci

Well just for the record, I think Fedora is the worse offender when it comes to support for most Network cards, but on the other hand this card seems to be problematic with Windows too. see these links

But there is a link that claims to have this chipset working with Linux.

Good Luck and please do let us know how it goes.

You can probably find the kernel headers on the Install CD, if not then just look at
Fedora Project, sponsored by Red Hat
