Surely there must be somebody building kernels with those modules so that you can install by adding their yum repository to your system. If not, it would mean that a blind RH systems admin couldn't do his work at the console. If remote access is broken he'd be in serious trouble. Most systems admins don't have a choice as to what flavor of linux they use in their job. Here at the University of Wisconsin, the IT department used to run Red Hat. The campus had a site license. The Math Department, where I work, uses debian and ubuntu. But if I worked in another department, I'd probably be stuck with RH. I have been building kernels for debian and ubuntu that have a hack do serial synths work. I set up a apt repository at www.iavit.org so other people can use them too. I don't know anything about Red Hat but surely there must be the equivalent of a ppa.
