Fedora Linux kernel doesn't have the rmnet driver

Ask Fedora
1

Why the Fedora Linux kernel doesn’t have the rmnet driver build as module?
What is the simplest way to have it?
How to ask to include the rmnet driver in the official package in Fedora?

2

what does modinfo rmnet return? can you simply load it with modprobe rmnet? (I am not in front of Fedora right now, so can’t test it).

On Fedora 38:

$ modinfo rmnet
modinfo: ERROR: Module rmnet not found.

$ sudo modprobe rmnet
modprobe: FATAL: Module rmnet not found in directory /lib/modules/6.3.7-200.fc38.x86_64

The rmnet was not built so it’s not present.

Thanks.
