RHEL scheduled updates are occurring closer to every 6 months, not 3-4.
SLES scheduled udpates are occurring closer to every year.

Both provide mechanisms, "KMODs", to distribute backported drivers built on the older kernel trees. <shameless plug> DKMS can be used to generate KMODs. </shameless plug>
