It was right under your nose. :)

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.29.5/198.fc11/noarch/kernel-firmware-2.6.29.5-198.fc11.noarch.rpm

For the record, I said your life would be easier in this case if you  
had auto-rebuilding dkms-like kernel module packages, not specifically  
that you should switch repos. I only said that I knew from personal  
experience that RPM Fusion had such a thing, but I thought ATrpms did  
too... :)

Rather than do that, just 'yum --nogpgcheck install ...'.

Unless you're doing kernel debugging, you don't need the kernel- 
debuginfo-* bits.

See above.
