The generic instructions are at
/usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.4.18/debian.README.gz (or equivalent
document in your kernel package) and are pretty reasonable.
The standard kernel packages include th bpck6 module.
shyamal@rattler:~$ uname -r
2.4.18-k7
shyamal@rattler:~$ find /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/ -name 'bpck*' -print
/lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/block/paride/bpck.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/block/paride/bpck6.o
You should be able to 'modprobe bpck6' to test it all.

AFAIK, there is not good reason to upgrade if your current hardware
works fine.
Don't trust me on any of this, I have no clue what a bpck6 module is :-)
Cheers!
