I just started using Fedora 17 with the 3.3.4 kernel and, much to my surprise, there are no files in /lib/modules/<kernel_version> of the form modules.xxxmap, ie, modules.pcimap, modules.usbmap, etc. What happened? How is the link between devices and drivers being done these days?
I'm not sure about kmod, but, generally speaking, things likekmod, on Fedora, should generate the appropriate systemd scripts to get their mods installed. (My old laptop has a nVidia graphics chip that's so old that the nouveau driver "barfed" and, IIRC, when I installed the propitiatory driver from RPMFusion [which also barfed, but nv + nomodeset works] that's what the RPMFusion installation script did.)
