There is a page in wiki that I once used to build my first package
(rt2870-kmod) for RPMFusion:
http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2
It should be pretty informative. Also, check the existing kmod
packages for examples.

Trying to create the kmods. I ran into a couple of problems
1) I had to modify the line from (--repo %{repo}):
kmodtool --target %{_target_cpu} --repo %{repo} --kmodname %{name}
%{?buildforkernels:--%{buildforkernels}} %{?kernels:--for-kernels "%{?kernels}"}
2>/dev/null
to:
kmodtool --target %{_target_cpu} --repo rpmfusion --kmodname %{name}
%{?buildforkernels:--%{buildforkernels}} %{?kernels:--for-kernels "%{?kernels}"}
2>/dev/null
2) It would seem that the driver was compiled, but then it would not "make
install" If I were to do this manually, of course make install works
+ rm -rf /home/eli/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/rlt8129se-kmod-2.6.0017.0525.2010-1.fc13.1.x86_64
+ for kernel_version in

+ make install

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

Thanks for any insight
