Oh, I see what's happening:
* You didn't upgrade to a newer kernel module, but expected weak-modules
to make a symlink.
* weak-modules logic has broken with the change in kernel numbering.
Correct?
If this is all that's at fault, it's probably a simple logic problem
that I can fix tomorrow when I get a chance to look at it - but if you
think I should know anything else, drop me a line.
FWIW, weak-modules will go away in a future Fedora. The plan is to
replace it with a much more comprehensive online driver update tool that
will do a lot more than just create symlinks - more information when I
have an example to share... :-)
