What do these rpms do?

Hello,

  Please explain the role played by the material in each of 
  the following three rpms found on rpmfusion:

  1) broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.noarch.rpm

     Common files for Broadcom 802.11 STA driver

     This package contains the license, readme and configuration
     files for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Driver for WiFi, a
     linux device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-,
     BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based hardware.

  2) kmod-wl-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.2.x86_64.rpm

     wl kernel module(s) for 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64

     This package provides the wl kernel modules built for the
     Linux kernel 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 for the x86_64 family
     of processors.

  3) kmod-wl-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.2.x86_64.rpm

     Metapackage which tracks in wl kernel module for newest kernel

     This is a meta-package without payload which sole purpose
     is to require the wl kernel module(s) for the newest
     kernel.  to make sure you get it together with a new
     kernel.

  The reference URL provided for all three packages is the same,
  viz., http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

  (Note that the material on the reference URL is newer than any
  of the three rpms;  but what I am trying to understand in this 
  thread is the role played by the stuff in each of the 3 rpms.)

  Thanks,

  --Suresh
