That's some vendor's frankenkernel.

You really have to watch your step with some of these vendors that tout 
their supposedly Linux-compatible laptops.  A lot of them foist on you some 
half-assed frankenkernel, that barely keeps the laptop's bizarre hardware 
working.  They conveniently give you a molested yum.conf to suppress kernel 
and X.org errata updates, for the uninformed.  But as soon as you get rid of 
all their crap, and load Fedora Borg-standard kernel, half the stuff in the 
laptop stops working.

It's likely that it never worked with the standard Fedora 2.6.19 kernel to 
start with, and only works with your laptop vendor's frankenkernel.
