The driver has been in kmod-staging from fusion until recently. Now it is removed from staging and instead a driver is included in the kernel pack from Fedora. After booting with this new kernel the relevant modules are loaded (see below) but the wireless connection is not available. Using the module earlier from Fusion worked most of the time and better and better over time.
