After the resent discussion on the user list about getting a kernel module  
to work, I remembered an old discussion about how to match module with  
kernel version if someone made a package with a kernel module. Somehow it  
should be visible on the package name which kernel is needed so  
InstallPackage could fetch the correct package. Perhaps apps with include  
user space tools and kernel modules should be split, so it's possible to  
have modules for several kernel for one version of the app. I'm not saying  
that we should make modules for every possible kernel configuration out  
there, just for those that we officially distribute (like on 013).

I also think that perhaps we should create a kernel package once in a  
while. I mean, do we really expect users to be on 2.6.11.9 from the  
release of 012 until they upgrade to 013? On one hand, it's really easy to  
compile an own kernel with Compile, but not all users would want that (for  
different reasons). And if there are a couple of known kernel  
configurations, we can make module packages for them.
