 From what I see from Fedora's kernel sources, the et131x module is not 
configured to be build into the Fedora kernel:

...
# CONFIG_DVB_AS102 is not set
# CONFIG_ET131X is not set
# CONFIG_SLICOSS is not set
...

So, you'd need to build a custom kernel or try to persuade the kernel 
maintainers to add it.
