You shouldn't have to recompile the kernel - to add extra kernel
modules.  At least that how things are with 2.6 kernel on Fedora

For eg: - with madwfi; the following compiles/installs the madwifi
driver for the currently running kernel for me..

get cvs
make
make install

[ And with fedora - precompiled kernel modules for ipw2200/2100 are
available from - http://atrpms.net/dist/fc3/ipw2100/ ]
