Paulo - when you say building them is easy are you refering to using
yum to download the source rpm and then rebuild the rpm on the new
kernel running in runlevel 3 mode without the kmdl?

If not could you outline the steps to build a kmdl or point me to
where to RTFM.

Sincerely,
Bob Lightfoot

Exactly, but you do not not need to use yum or go to run level 3.

The simplest way is building for the kernel you are running (booted with):

first, you need the macros:

yum install atrpms-rpm-config

then, just download and build your kmdl, for instance:

wget
http://dl.atrpms.net/src/f16-x86_64/atrpms/stable/broadcom-wl-5.100.82.38-5.src.rpm

rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-5.100.82.38-5.src.rpm
