I'm not familiar with that (pretty much any) controller. I'm guessing though
that you'd only need the module for 2.4 kernels, and that the 2.6 kernel
would be able to handle it as is. Otherwise, I'd expect the MB to come with
drivers for the 2.6 kernel too. Are you sure you need a kernel module for
the 2.6 kernel?
