1) Remove previous versions
yum remove libflashsupport nspluginwrapper.i386 flash\*
mozilla-plugin-config -r
2) Download and copy the flashplayer in the mozilla plugins folder
curl http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
| tar -C /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ -xzf -
3) Restart ndiswrapper
mozilla-plugin-config -i
4) Restart firefox
http://repo.fedoramd.org/3rdparty/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
========================================================
I have not tried it myself on two machines with x86_64, but might do so, if you try it and it works, I will give it a try! :)
Regards,
Antonio
