Is there a way to find this out for sure? The hardware did work with windows 7.

The iwl6000-firmware package should be installed by default, especially
on a clean install. It is possible that the base Fedora install has
an older version (not sure when the last update happened), but if
you have done a "yum update" then you should already have the updated
firmware package.
Correct John, I did a "yum update"
This is incorrect. Please forget it.

What seems most likely is that you have an older (possibly pre-release)
piece of hardware that has EEPROM data on the card that the driver
refuses to recognize. Whether or not it is supposed to recognize it
is the only remaining question. Hopefully Wey-yi will chime-in.
