The download is quite large and you will notice that there is a dkms rpm 
in it, amongst a lot of other stuff. dkms can cater with updates, AFAIK. 
It rebuilds the module if it detects a newer kernel or on every reboot or 
so (others will know better). For this you need to have the build 
requirements installed on the machine! 
dkms isn't the preferred method anymore, but I don't think that package 
contains a "weak update".
