Thanks once again!  For me I guess this is good news and bad new.  Good news 
in that it will (probably) be in Fedora 15 when I upgrade and bad news in that 
I have to wait until May for that to happen.

If I found the correct repository, it looks like your patch cannot be easily 
be backported to Fedora 14.  It appears as if there were some more extensive 
changes to the module (and the rest of the rc modules) back in December.
