Color me ignorant, but I don't undersand this argument. Can't you
recompile modules without recompiling the kernel? I know I can :)
It doesn't matter if the modules came bundled with the kernel source, or
as a seperate package AFAICT ...
Of course my argument is shot to hell if you aren't compling PCMCIA as
modules. Which laptops need PCMCIA support before modules can be
loaded?
