     I am finding it hard to deal with as RPMFusion and Fedora are two 
seperate thing but when it blocks a update then yes I do think it is a 
Fedora issue.

Anyway I have waiting to do

The problem is that there is a kmod but instead of 195.36.31-2 the label 
for the new kmod 195.36.31-1

This is confusing as the driver does not end with -1 but a -2

Thanks for agreeing anyway
