No, but you can try the package from livna -- maybe that works (but it's
not the rc, latest official version iirc).

Further: livna/rpmfusion is looking for a maintainer for ndiswrapper.
Would you be interested?  You could do Fedora users a great service by
maintaining it -- it's just easier to compile a Fedora-specific and
pre-compile package in one place and then let thousands of users use it
instead of letting thousands of users install and maintain ndiswrapper
locally and manually.
