Howdy,

indeed FC2 supports prism54 out of the box. I am currently using
it on two of my boxes with a Netgear WG511 PCCARD and an SMC 2802W PCI.
All it takes is putting the firmware image to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
, loading prism54 (kudzu would do that for you on boot time) and then
call for instance system-config-network, selecting wireless card and 
so on ..

hth, Steffen

P.S. Is anybody around using CIPE in conjunction with a prism54 card in master mode?
