You know, in setting up WiFi on redwolf I ran into some problems.  If you compile a kernel with gcc 3.2, and then modules with 3.3, modprobe/insmod will not load the modules.  But, if you recompile both with the same version of gcc, you're good and groovy.

Must be a 2.6'ism that is worth it.

You could use modprobe -f to force load it. It's mainly there to keep you from loading a 2.95.x module in a 3.x kernel, I hear that does evil nasty things to the memory. Or was that 3.x in a 2.95.x kernel?
*shrugs*
Personally the thing I like about 2.6 most is udev.
