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.
