You might want to look into DKMS:

	http://www.lerhaupt.com/linux.html#dkms

Excerpt from the above link:

	DKMS stands for Dynamic Kernel Module Support. It is designed to create
	a framework where kernel dependant module source can reside so that
	it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This will
	allow Linux vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for
	new kernel releases while also taking out the guesswork for customers
	attempting to recompile modules for new kernels.
