Linux creator Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.26 of the Linux kernel after a lengthy three-month development stretch since the 2.6.25 release involving nine release candidates. In announcing the release on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Torvalds said the 87 days since 2.6.25 makes 2.6.26 a longer-than-usual release cycle. Torvalds said the changes from release candidate (RC) 9 are small, with the bulk (80 percent) being documentation updates.

And what ?
If they are modules, should they not also compile under the newer kernel ?

have you ever built custom kernel?
Cisco VPN client, ipw3945 in past required constant patching otherwise module would not load under new kernel. nVidia occasionally would not even build.

Nothing new.
It does not mean that specific module will not built though.

I meant the modules for his Freeview card, they are pretty much a standard affair covered extensively on the linuxtv pages.

I have got them to work on almost all kernels, stock or custom.
