These options have to be set at kernel build time, so if you don't want to
compile your own kernel, your best bet is to file a Request for Enhancement in
Bugzilla. http://bugzilla.redhat.com
Assuming that driver can be built as a module, you could also try to build the
module outside of the kernel (take the module out of the kernel source, adjust
the makefile for out-of-tree building, install kernel-devel and build the
module against that), this is faster than rebuilding the entire kernel, but you
need to know what you're doing, so it's not a very user-friendly solution
either. Getting it enabled directly in the Fedora kernel should be both the
easiest solution for you and the best one long term.
