No, the network card vendor distributes binary modules for specific kernels.
The kernel is then "tainted" since working with non-GPL code. I believe
Linus finds this OK.   Up to now I could run the cluster on RH7.3 but
the newest modules are no longer supported for RH7.3, which provides
a good excuse to upgrade the cluster to SL!
