Right, the solution will then be either dkms or kernel version-independent kmod. While CentOS does not provide either, the dkms version might become available if you ask dag :-D Try the rpmforge mailing list. If you'd rather go for the kmod way, Alan Bartlett has been offering kABI-tracking kmods for several NIC drivers here: http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/ I'm quite certain he will be happy to build one for sk98lin.
