Use apt/yum and do

apt-get install kernel-module-nvidia-graphics6106-`uname -r`

(or replace `uname -r` if you are not running the kernel you need to
install the kernel modules for)

Then use

apt-get install nvidia-graphics6106

They will choose the right ones. The many different kernel-module-*
rpms you see are because each kernel/flavour/arch combination requires
its own kernel module. So each FC2 kernel already requires 4
(i686/i586 x non-smp/smp) and so on.
