Huh? Are you reading this post correctly?  This is RMPFusion's
way of managing packages and there is a thread about it.

My latest kernel is:  2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686

Anyway - the problem is SOLVED!

I used akmod-rt2870 and it auto-compiles to the latest kernel,
and requires a reboot.

My wireless connection is baaaaaaaack! :P
