where they have kernel-2.6.22-0.5.rc7.git2.fc8.i686.rpm

Usually running development kernels on the current OS works out okay...
but in the past there have been filesystem-trashers... don't blame me if
it trashes your install.
or you can just clone the main git repo and take it from there.
frankly, that seems like the easiest solution, and it works fine for
me.

  $ uname -r
  2.6.22-rc7-nodbg

Yep I'm running current wireless-dev on some boxes here myself... but if
all he wants is a more current kernel and not to customize it then
development is easier -- and quicker -- than building your own.

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.
