Kernel vs driver question

[Larry <doccpu@yahoo.com>]

I have a driver that expects to be loaded into kernel
2.4.18.

I'm running kernel 2.4.18-i386, which should be
compatable.

The driver barfs and drops out because it sees this
kernel label (somewhere) and decides it isn't 2.4.18.

Other than generating an entirely new kernel, is there
a way to get this driver happy with this kernel? 
Like, rename the kernel somewhere?

Thanks.
