Neither of which are relevant.  If I want to use the wireless on my
laptop, I have to use ndiswrapper since Broadcom hasn't seen fit to
provide linux drivers.  I have neither the skill nor the time to
reverse-engineer the Windows driver to write my own, nor do I have the
ability to "fix" ndiswrapper so that it doesn't require the kernel
sources.

Regardless, this has gotten off-topic, as the original question was how
to get Yum to download srpms.  Taken in context, *why* I want
foo.src.rpm shouldn't have had any bearing on the question.
