Check the archives on this issue, it has been addressed several times that I remember. With FC1 I had a hard time, but FC2 and 3 have been no problem. I use a Dazzle 8 in 1 reader that is USB from Compusa. I yum update regularly in case there is a usb patch or something but recently that hasn't been an issue.
