 Nevertheless I tried building the package by defeating the kernel version checks and fixing some other problems (location of modversions.h, which field to look at in the "lspci -n" output).  It died during compile with some module management-related errors, which I suspect is related to changes in how kernel modules are defined and loaded between 2.4 and 2.6).  I'm giving up for the time being but it seems like people who know about device drivers could possibly make the updates in the future.
