If you're running stock kernels then you can just use the kmod packages.
Because they (Fedora and RPM Fusion) are on totally different
infrastructures there is sometimes a delay between the kernel being updated
and the kmod package being updated which is one reason some people run the
akmod package, but that's usually taken care of within a couple of days.
This just requires you to pay attention and not attempt to boot the new
kernel until the kmod package gets installed.
