The solution I saw with the Intel network drivers was to make the RPM
kernel-version-specific. One had to build a different RPM for each
kernel version desired.

An alternative would be to install the drivers to
/lib/modules/[package-name+version] and symlink to them from the
current kernel module directory in a %post script.
