Why is this so? When drivers are made for one kernel version then why should it not work with a higher kernel version.
Do you have the source code? Recompile.
Modules are sensitive to version numbers.
2.4.2 is different from 2.4.2-2 etc.
Since you don't seem to be compiling your own kernel, get those compiled for a system like yours.
For example: If you have RH-7.2, go to the site of the provider of the driver, and look for a package for your own distribution. (This is helpful in case the source code is not available)
