Are you asking which drivers wpa_supplicant supports out of the box?

If so, any drivers that are listed in the config file there, and that
wpa_supplicant reports as supported on it's website for 0.4.8, should be
supported by wpa_supplicant.  Known exceptions: bcm43xx, madwifi-ng
(both have intermittent problems caused by unstable or incomplete
drivers)

Or, if you're asking which drivers that Fedora Core 5 supports out of
the box, that's a different question.
