There is a very small chance this will work. However your best bet is to recompile the kernel with the relavent module. 'make-kpkg' is the Debian way(and quite handy) but you can always do this the traditional way: apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.whatever cd /usr/src tar -xjf something.tar.bz2 cd kernel-source* make menuconfig #you might prefer xconfig - choose your module here make dep clean modules bzImage modules_install install Ensure LILO(or grub) is set up properly and reboot.
