Yesno.
You need to compile kernel modules to fit to the version of FreeBSD or
Linux.
I also call user space "FreeBSD" and "Linux", but it's _not_ correct to
do it. FreeBSD is a kernel and Linux is a kernel, not the whole system
is called Linux or FreeBSD and both kernels are available in different
versions.
To compile a module you need to install the kernel headers of the same
version as the kernel.
The module quasi is the driver.
