I updated the example found online at 
http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/MISC.fdr/kernel-module-example/
and in the wiki at
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/KernelModuleProposal

Changes to the kernel-module-package:

- These macro definitions are now found in the top of the spec file:
%{!?kver:  %define  kver            %(uname -r)}
           %define  ksrc            %{_usrsrc}/kernels/%{kver}-%{_target_cpu}
           %define  moddir          /lib/modules/%{kver}/kernel/misc
           %define  mainpkgname     ndiswrapper
           %define  mainpkgversion  1.2
           %define  mainpgkrelease  1
Yes, in other packages I would not like these "mainpkg*" definitions on
the top, but in this type of package I think they are helpful.

- The main kernel-module package is now named
"kernel-module-%{mainpkgname}-base" (if someones knows something better
then "base" tell me). The kernel-module itself is now placed in
 %package -n kernel-module-%{mainpkgname}
So only one SRPM is created no matter how much different kernel-modules
are build. Also the CVS tags don't depend on the local kernel-version (I
did not try but it got to this idea when I saw "Sacrifice
no-args-builds-for-current-kernel for benefit of CVS tag sanity." 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2005-July/msg00229.html
)

- Now: 
 Release: 	%{mainpgkrelease}.%(echo %{kver} | tr - _)
 Provides:       kernel-module = %{kver}
as suggested by spot on this list yesterday 

- Avoid some problems when kernel-module and kernel are deleted in one
rpm transaction (anyone knows a better way to fix? "Requires(postun):
kernel-%{_target_cpu} = %{kver}" does not work):  
-- Only depmod when System.map is still there
 %postun -n kernel-module-%{mainpkgname}
 [ -e "/boot/System.map-%{kver}" ] && \
 /sbin/depmod -e -F /boot/System.map-%{kver} %{kver}> /dev/null || :
-- In %files:
%dir /lib/modules/%{kver}/
so that dir is removed during remove.

P.S: I'm on a trip the next weeks -- I don't know how often and how long
I'll have access to the Internet. So don't expect a fast reply from me
during that time. And if you want to propose a kernel-module scheme that
I would not like: this is you chance! ;-)
