Update Information:

Main package should require -libs
Update to the latest upstream release.  From the release announcement:

"The most notable new features are the support for finit_module()
syscall and for signed modules. For finit_module() we try to be nice with older kernels  and we fallback to init_module() if the new one is not available. The older syscall is also used in case the module is compressed."

The modinfo command will now display module signature information as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update kmod' at the command line.
For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum",
available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.

All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.  More details on the
