From what I seen this is an issue between the main Fedora repo and RpmFusion. The nvidia drivers have the same issue.

Fedora upgrades the kernel, but RpmFusion havn't re-built kernel modules yet. So you do an yum upgrade, and are left with a new kernel, without the modules you need. There's the akmod- modules that's supposed to recompile itself on a kernel upgrade, but in my experience that works about half the time.

Small things like this gets old really fast. Even if there's workarounds, people will have to remember those, and it's easier to find an alternative that just works instead of listening to people saying "but that's because" or "you can just".
