Run the kernel src.rpm through the rpmbuild -bp stage, and try your
patch. If it doesn't apply, comment out patches in the spec until it
does. Also, you'll see what base kernel is used in the spec file.
Yeap, i thought about that, but the problem is that the developers of
the patch (driver) may ignore bug reports from people not using the
vanilla kernel. I know that the Fedora kernel is not too bastardized
(it's pretty close to vanilla, like Arjan said) but... <shrug>
