Actually, I think you have the driver RPMs confused with the driver
itself. We supply prebuilt RPMs for all of the major RPM-based distros
with every driver release.
All of the source code that interacts with the Linux kernel is available
in the kernel driver tarball. This has allowed many people to run the
driver on the officially-unsupported 2.5 kernels, for instance.
The current driver supports all kernels from 2.2.12 through to 2.4.18
(at least).
