These are the modules I need to build whenever the kernel changes.
Sometimes I can get nvidia from livna, sometimes it is not ready yet.
I build these as RPMS, so usually there's just minimal work to run
rpmbuild and then copy the RPMS onto the server where yum finds them
for the workstations.

nvidia
openafs
ipw3945
