Perhaps you could use one of these kernels:
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc4-i686.php

Linuxant provides FC4 kenels with stack size set to 16K, which should be 
  sufficient for most uses. You might be able the use these with 
stack-hungry, ndiswrapped nt device drivers.
