Hi,
well I think we got it! You don't need to compile the kernel, but
you have to make sure, that /usr/src/linux points to the sources
where your current kernel is made of.
AFAIR you're using SuSE 7.1, then you have to install the lx_kernel24
package instead of the lx_kernel package (which contains the 2.2.18
sources).
The driver needs to know for which kernel it should work for...

BTW: Please reply to the list...
