Great to know. I've just pushed the packages to the main freshrpms
repository for FC6.

Oops. I cleaned it up too much it seems. I'll be leaving all previous
versions there just in case, for people to downgrade easily when needed.

The latest dkms-ntfs package should compile fine with 2.6.19 but not
2.6.18. As for dkms-ndiswrapper, I haven't tested it with recent kernel
updates, but if it's broken, I'd really like to know for sure and get a
fix ;-)
