No, each new kernel comes with the new modules for that version.

According to the bug report:

} This simple patch removes the PCI ID's of the Davicom NIC's from 
} the tulip driver. Currently, both dmfe and tulip handles them and
} this bug report suggests that the tulip driver is not up to it 
} after all, so we should let dmfe handle them.
