Have you read this message:

How can rpmfusion provide the module for a kernel it's not expecting because
the one in testing -- posted yesterday!!!! -- is an earlier kernel? This
seems to me like an important post and everybody ignores it.

rpmfusion is not at fault. Unless it's admissible for Fedora to play tricks
on rpmfusion, the whole problem lies with Fedora.

If there's something I don't get, what is it?
