[PlanetCCRMA] missing iwlwifi modules in new kernel 2.6.23.12

Right.  The last PlanetCCRMA F7 kernel I have record of is Fedora 
(2.6.22.10-1.rt9.1.fc7.ccrmart). What I am looking for is a rebuild of that 
kernel with the following set in the config:

CONFIG_IWLWIFI=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_SENSITIVITY=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_QOS=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_HT=y
CONFIG_IWL4965=m
CONFIG_IWL3945=m

The stock Fedora 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel featured these settings, but the above 
PlanetCCRMA kernel lacked them.

Does this make sense?
