The fact that users have problems with different binary-only modules not being available for the same kernel version seems to prove that the "interface" EXPORT_SYMBOL "defines" isn't stable.

If it was, we'd have an nvidia driver for 2.4, not a whole serie for each 2.4.x kernel.

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).
