Try downloading the driver from http://rpm.livna.org.  You will need
to match the kernel version and architecture to the proper file for
downloading.

Uninstall:  As root

Step 1)  # rpm -qa | grep kernel-module


Step 2)  # rpm -e { insert result from Step 1 here.  If Step 1 is
empty no need for Step 2.}
