Description David Robinson 2013-01-22 05:55:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

It looks like some kernel modules which were built in kernel-3.6.10 weren't built/included in 3.7.2.

[root@laptop ~]# ll /boot/config-3.*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 122595 Dec 12 05:06 /boot/config-3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 122501 Jan 12 09:22 /boot/config-3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64
[root@laptop ~]# grep CONFIG_DVB_USB_RTL28XXU /boot/config-3.*
/boot/config-3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64:CONFIG_DVB_USB_RTL28XXU=m

The "config-generic" file in the SRPM of both kernels includes the line below.

CONFIG_DVB_USB_RTL28XXU=m

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 (OK)
kernel-3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64 (has missing modules)

Additional info:

This may have something to do with drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb being moved to drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb (note media/dvb->usb). See the commit below.

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2013-01-22 14:10:31 UTC 
This is fixed in the -204 kernel and later.  The module moved to the dvb-usb-v2/ directory.
