hmmmm...I haven't used the RPM's before, so I can only guess that the
RPM's are doing something not quite right.

Is the asterisk-zaptel or the zaptel rpm supposed to provide the
drivers? Does rpm -qf <filename> show the correct kernel version?

If that fails, you could download the source files from the Asterisk
site and build them yourself.
