Well, the situation around the driver is a huge mess. Looking at the 
changelog will tell you that it's a mess since quite some time already:
http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/dkms-tiacx/dkms-tiacx.spec

I tried to quickly compile that version, the one that's in freshrpms and 
the one from http://gitorious.org/projects/acx-mac80211/repos/mainline 
against the latest F9 kernel -- none of them compiled :-/

If somebody knows a version that working right now and that looks like 
it's going to be properly maintained for the near future please let me 
know, then we can consider to create kmod packages -- but we at least 
also need to have someone that can also test if the modules work.
