Ah, it is not available for Fedora 7 there, but the machine I am currently
using runs Fedora 7. But this seems not to be the version that is mentioned
in http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2
because there it is written about version 2.x.
Sorry, I should have mentioned it earlier in the thread that kmodtool is
only in Livna for F8 and later only. Sorry. It's written indirectly on
quoted wiki page , but not really obvious.

Is it common to use postfix instead of suffix? Both the dictionaries I have
here do not mention it, but suffix. Nevertheless, at least I learned that my
dictionaries suck.
Well, we nevertheless could change this if we want, but that would
require adjustments in all kmod packages. I'm wondering if that's worth
the trouble.
