I recently did a "yum update" and it installed a new kernel:
2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.  I like to build my own ipw2200 module, so I tried and
it failed.  With a little investigation I found some broken links:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     47 Aug 25 15:45 build
-> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3-i686
drwxr-xr-x  9 root root   4096 Aug 25 15:45 kernel
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 194916 Aug 25 15:45 modules.alias
-rw-r--r--  1 root root     69 Aug 25 15:45 modules.ccwmap
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 234004 Aug 25 15:45 modules.dep
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    813 Aug 25 15:45 modules.ieee1394map
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    357 Aug 25 15:45 modules.inputmap
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  16284 Aug 25 15:45 modules.isapnpmap
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 169632 Aug 25 15:45 modules.pcimap
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  89255 Aug 25 15:45 modules.symbols
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 268793 Aug 25 15:45 modules.usbmap
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      5 Aug 25 15:45 source -> build

"build" and "source" are broken links.  I tried installing the .src.rpm and
did an rpmbuild, but to no avail.  What am I missing?

This seems to be new for kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.  Before, all the headers
needed to build modules were included in the rpm, the src rpm wasn't
needed, nor was anything else.

Thanks.
