Well, my packages really exist in bugzilla.fedora.us QA queue for now,
so it's not a miracle that they're not easily found at the moment :)

I remember exchanging a couple of mails already with Martin.  But
please, try to get those changes into upstream OpenSC.

Uhm, it's bugzilla.fedora.us...

Sometime, absolutely!  But not right now, I have far too much stuff on
my plate already :(

AFAIK not.  I've been using their latest cm2020 and cm4000 drivers
pretty successfully on RH9 and FC1.  Unfortunately they don't have (at
least public) releases that would work with a 2.6 kernel, so no FC2
yet.  I've pinged their Linux support but haven't received a reply.
