Thank you for clearing that up.  I'm still confused why I don't have it
on my system.  I don't think it's interesting enough for anybody else to
worry about, but then again, I don't really have a good idea about what
constitutes "interesting."  Here's what I see:

[root at virgil javert42]# uname -r
2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
[root at virgil javert42]# modinfo hdaps
modinfo: could not find module hdaps

I also get nothing when I grep my kernel package for hdaps:

[root at virgil javert42]# rpm -ql kernel | grep hdaps

Again, thanks for the input.  Thomas also answered a separate question
that I had.
