Why is the application bound to that specific kernel release version?
Btw. a kernel module is not called an application, which is a userland
thing. Are you very sure the kernel module can't be build against a
current kernel? And if it is a correct source, it does not need the
complete kernel source. The FC3 kernel RPM ships all whats needed.

The 2.6.10 kernel is the current *security* update kernel.

Not forbidden, but strongly advised to avoid old and vulnerable kernels.
Or backport security fixes.

This is because FC3 was originally shipped with a 2.6.9 kernel.
