I was also unable to get the ft3xx module working. I was only 
successful after I found the following module alluded to on the kernel 
mailing list:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/2039.html

It discusses the GPLed Promise driver pdc-ultra-1.00.0.10.tgz. This is 
the one I used in my boot disk and in all module recompiles since. It 
is still being hosted by busybox at:

http://www.busybox.net/pdc-ultra-1.00.0.10.tgz

but I have also put it on my server as well at:

http://www.railwave.com/files/pdc-ultra-1.00.0.10.tgz

and I've moved the boot disk to:

http://www.railwave.com/files/fedora_fasttrack.img

Unfortunately it may be a little while before I can figure out how I 
got this to work as I was forced to make this new "test machine" a 
temporary printer server during our Fedora/CUPS RH7.3/LPRng 
transistion! 8)

I do however, have a pdc-ultra module recompile HOWTO that I will be 
posting later in the week.
