What I'm trying to find out is which kmod-nvidia  package for my Geforce 
7300LE ?

Probably worth pointing out that kmod-nvidia (or better yet,
akmod-nvidia, which automatically rebuilds the driver for new kernels)
is from the rpmfusion.org nonfree repo.

If you had gone to the nVidia WWW site and looked at the documentation 
for Linux Driver downloads, you would have found that your GeForce 7300 
LE is listed as supported by 3 of the 4 nvidia driver:  180, 173, and 
96, but not the oldest driver 71.


Just look at Appendix A of each driver's README file for the 
information.  All supported GPUs are listed by both name, and some 
hexadecimal PCI ID number, which I am unable to correlate to any 
information printed out by lspci for my GeForce 6200

 number, which I am unable to correlate to any information printed out by
 lspci for my GeForce 6200

Try:

# /sbin/lspci -nn | grep VGA

Example:
[miran...@charon ~]$ /sbin/lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34
[GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1)

My 0322 corresponds to the 173.xx driver.
