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 2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64___/usr/src/kernels/2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 + make install DESTDIR=/home/eli/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/rlt8129se-kmod-2.6.0017.0525.2010-1.fc13.1.x86_64 KMODPATH=/lib/modules//2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64//extra/rlt8129se/ make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.PYAMQs (%install) Thanks for any insight
