Not possible to use nvidia on F16 x86_64 clean installs

Hi,

Let's assume I just installed Fedora 16 from scratch, so I have
kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16. Then I do an update so I'll get kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16. No
other f16 kernel version is in the fedora repo now.

The atrpms repo contains kmdls for 3.2.10-3.fc16 only. So dead end. No way to
use the nvidia driver with my f16.

Since I understand that there might be issues with building the nvidia kmdls
for new kernel release I'd like to ask whether it would be possible to have the
nvidia kmdls for kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16 in the atrpms repo.

Or, is there any way to download kernel-3.2.10-3.fc16 from somewhere? I tried
to google for it, but no luck. :-(.

Thanks.
