Apologies, no offense intended. By 'better behaved' I was referring to the
rpmforge approach of not "messing with files installed by kernel and
kernel-devel packages". Perhaps a poor choice of words.. ;/

I understand the necessity to update the iee80211 modules to make this work, and
 I do appreciate the packages you have created. I was simply inquiring whether
we could get these changes into the Fedora kernel to make life easier for
everyone...
