I am afraid so. Sometimes you have to edit conf.modules yourself. If you
do not want this, hardcode the driver into the kernel instead of
building it as a module. Then you do not have to specify options like
this in conf.modules.

Yes they are... for kernel 2.0.36 that is. There simply is no way to
know beforehand what changes are going to be made in a new stable kernel
release.
