Kernel-module Version Mismatch !!!
 
Hi ,

i am trying to install RHEL3(Redhat Enterprise Version 3) using a kickstart diskette on my thinkpad and a tokenring pc card via the network.
While using the PCMCIA Driver Diskette to load the network driver i get the following warning ,

Warning : kernel-module version mismatch
/tmp/ibmtr_cs.o was compile for kernel version 2.4.20.8BOOT while this kernel is version 2.4.21-9.ELBOOT
/tmp/ibmtr_cs: unresolved symbol mod_timer_R1f13d309
/tmp/ibmtr_cs: unresolved symbol _netdev_watchdogf_up_Re9e1a04e
etc etc etc
* failed to insert /tmp/ibmtr_cs.0


RHEL3 does not support ibmtr_cs.o.
Now my question is can i recompile ibmtr_cs.o for the new kernel ? if so how to do it ? where can i find related documentation/help ?
Does recompiling the driver mean that the OS kernel will get a new version name ??? I mean i want my RHEL3 system to retain 2.4.21-9.ELBOOT version. Am i making sense ?

Please help !!!
