I was wondering if rpm can register aliases when it bundles external kernel module (*.ko) like this iwl3945, so it can tell which module (external, in it's own rpm / or internally from the kernel) is a candidate for some specific hardware... Maybe if it can tell more deeply, see that the module is requesting a specific firmware as a dependency (and versionned firmwares is what should be set as as rule, probably not only for intel firmwares ?!) This would be a feature that beginners would appreciate!
