Yes, el6 seems a bit different.  I found kmdls for a kernel that wasn't 
available through sl6 and had to get it from CentOS.  But for f16 at 
present there are just 3 nvidia kmdls for 3.4.7-1, while the kernel 
offered by fedora-updates is now 3.4.9-1.  You just have to be aware of 
what is and is not available when you want to make changes.
