I would have a problem like this with my funky wireless card. If you try to load the compiled module and the kernel version compiled against is different from the current running kernel, it doesn't work.

Actually, it all depends on whether anything that the module depends on changed between the different kernels. I know this because the last two kernel updates on my laptop have _not_ broken my ACX100 driver.

Which is a good thing, as the kernel source will no longer fit on the laptop's hard drive, so when the kernel does make a significant change I'm hosed.
