Lets brainstorm ;)
- Not an easy task as the modules will collide with the ones that are the kernel I guess.
this should definitely not happen.
- Loading the driver ("make insmod" ;) ) should be done by an initscript and configured by a *.conf file in /etc/When you copy the lines from the modules.conf sample file in the DVB/driver/ directory to into your own /etc/modules.conf the modules should get loaded automatically when needed. Maybe an RPM can do this automatically.
- the binary rpm should have the name of the kernel(uname -r) in it.In theory you have to create seperate RPMs for every kernel(sub)version. Even if they are usually binary compatible it's always the safest way to compile the driver for every new version.
