[Click] Problems Installing Click Kernel Module

[dmoore7@nd.edu]

Yes, I noted the difference and hoped this would fall under the case described
in the installation instructions:

We supply patches for Linux 2.2.18-21, 2.4.18-32, 2.6.16.13, and
    2.6.19.2.  A patch may or may not work for a slightly different kernel
    version; we suggest you try it.

Would it be best if I altered my kernel version to match the latest patch?  I
have not recompiled or reloaded kernels in the past, so I guess I should be
looking into how to do this.
Thanks for the input.
