[CentOS] 3Ware 9500 vs 9550 vs CentOS 4.latest kernel

Does this mean that we can update the kernel alone? I mean does
kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.EL.x86_64.rpm have the driver built in?. 

Thanks  
Rajeev

Up to centos 4.3, the 9500 cards benefit from a driver upgrade and the 
9550 cards demand one.  In the 4.4 kernel, however, the driver was 
upgarded and should handle all cards quite well out of the box.
