Sangoma Wanrouter cards also have this problem. The driver comes with the kernel
but Sangoma occasionally releases updated drivers. So far the only options
I have found are either install the new driver from a tarball (not good) or 
install the rpm with --force (even worse IMHO). I love their hardware and
drivers but their rpm is a problem. I was not aware that one could force
things in the %post. If this is right I will need to look into this.
I would really prefer not to have to rebuild a kernel rpm just to update a
module. Too much like work for me.
