OK - got it. No, I didn't try the official driver from your company website. I 
did switch over to the Livna driver, and that does work. For now, I'll have 
to do the wait-a-day-or-two dance to get the new kmod  when new kernels are 
released, which is why I prefer to use the freshrpms repo, which includes the 
dkms package that does the build of the new module on the fly, each time I 
reboot after installing a new kernel. I have used the official driver in the 
past and that's OK - I just prefer to use the packages from the repos and my 
regular package manager to do these tasks, when/if they all work together. 
I'll wait a few days and see how things sort themselves out
