I disagree with this assessment.  In all cases that I know of, drivers
_are_ tied to a particular kernel, but can almost always be compiled for
a newer one, with some exception, like going from 2.0 to 2.2 was a bit
of a rough patch for certain drivers.  It's much better now, so I don't
think this opinion is particularly valid now, as opposed to say 1999 or
2000.
