    I just got the new kernel with all the WiFi things in it which I d/l 
from
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/fc7/RPMS.kernel/i386/ and 
it is kernel version kernel-2.6.21-1.3232.fc7.rpm and this I installed 
on my laptop with just the usual RPM call:

# rpm -i kernel-2.6.21-1.3232.fc7.rpm

and it was installed. Grub got the right stuff and it boots on the new 
kernel.
