AFAIK, it's not so easy. You can't take a module compiled against 2.4
and load it under 2.6: module support has changed radically since
2.5.41+ and binary 2.4 modules will just refuse to load under 2.6. For
the rest of the drivers (those whose source code is available), many of
them simply won't compile against 2.6.

Now that 2.6 has been release, we'll have to wait a little until some of
those drivers are updated to use new 2.6 API and features.
