kernel-*-devel is new in FC4 (and RHEL4); the files included in that 
package are included in the kernel-* packages in stable Fedora releases 
so far.

If you're building a module not included in the shipped kernel, you 
should be able to find build instructions in the same place you got the 
driver.
