Try downloading the kernel-source rpm for you kernel and re-build the kernel
or build the module. Here's a couple of links to get you started;
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...
el.html
http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/...uild-HOWTO.html
Hint: look at the Multimedia devices and USB Multimedia devices sections
You might want to download the kernel-unsupported rpm first.
