Yes indeed — I installed a fresh system with Fedora 11 just a month or two ago, and was totally surprised when PackageKit offered to go get firmware for my EchoAudio Layla24 PCI card. A couple clicks and a reboot later (so the kernel could load the appropriate stuff without my having to intervene), it was humming right along. I admit I’m something of a PackageKit groupie, but hey, it’s pretty awesome.
