/usr/share/doc/{version-specific-kernel-name/Documentation/networking

You'll find quite a bit of info there, although some of it will be
chip-specific, as opposed to device-specific (since some mfrs will change
their chipset even within a model name/number). Finding out which chipset
is used on which cards is important. Might be some of those docs will list
known cards using a particular chipset.

http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html -- found that on a
google search for 'Fedora Supported Hardware'
