which issue?

you get the most recent kernel-devel and that's it

if you don't reboot to the most recent kernel installed on your system 
before biuld dkmos/akmod modules - bad luck - but how is that a Fedora 
problem at all - both are helpers in case of wrong hardware decisions 
and so you need in the worst case to ivent 10 minutes of our time you 
saved by bouy random broken hardware

that *is not* a Fedora problem at all - period
