No it doesn't. It needs the appropriate kernel-devel, however, but
doesn't list it as a dependency.
Could you give a hint how to install tp_smapi with akmods, please.
I have kernel-headers and kernel-devel installed,
as well as akmod-tp_smapi-0.40-1.fc11.i686.rpm which I installed by
sudo yum localinstall akmod-tp_smapi-0.40-1.fc11.i686.rpm --nogpgcheck
According to <
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/zcat/akmods>
I should now run "sudo service akmods restart",
but when I do this I get the error message

[tim@blanche ~]$ sudo service akmods restart
