Not true
It is a hell of a hack but it is possible

install redhat 9 ... using driver disk supplied on the website
install kernel source for fedora kernel
compile module for fedora kernel using files provided
create a local yum repo of fedora
( ie copy all rpms from discs to a directory local or http .. rum yum-arch)
update your yum.conf
do a yum upgrade
make coffee
then figure out what files need to be removed and installed ( diff in 
rpms from a std install)
worked for me and I have since upgraded to latest kernels

Good Luck
Dean
