How to install drivers of newtworking card on Fedora 17

How to install drivers of newtworking card on Fedora 17 in my Laptop Acer Aspire One 722 for enabling my computer to connect to Internet ?
I have shearched, and I find somthing like akmod,

* How I can do that ?

* Is Fedora 17 install this drivers by default, or I should install them manually ?

There is a driver built in the kernel for this adapter. And it should work. Though a quick forum search gives information http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=285184 it doesn't work pretty good.
There's also a bug report available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815377 but there's no bugfix or even workaround yet.

Is it the same laptop with Ubuntu you are posting here with? If Ubuntu works for you stay with Ubuntu.
