FC4 will ship with something like Linux 2.6.12. since somebody has
already stepped up to maintain the pwc driver and it has actually
become open source now it is likely that the upstream kernel will
merge it again and FC4 will support it

If you can wait to make the decision till the actual release is made
to check whether my crystal ball shows the future right please do
