That's correct, it isn't there.  I had to do some research on this, and
it turns out that the firmware you need is not included in the current
version of linux-firmware on Fedora 17.  There is a package in
updates-testing that includes it, but we won't be able to pull that in
until it gets pushed live.  

It still (as of right now) needs additional karma before it can be
pushed.
