This module is available in 2.6.21. Not sure how much earlier than
that it appeared.
We've found that devices using this chip have some issues: they don;t
work with an MTU of 1500 - you have to turn it down to 1486. This is
true on 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 with the hardware we have. Something
would appear to be quite broken. They work fine on windows. They are
incredibly cheap though :-) GBP 2.45! ($5)

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/linux-headers-2.6.22-2-ixp4xx
is the one for the SLUG I think.

You should just be able to download the above.
To build it locally you need linux-2.6 source pakcage and make-kpkg
binary package. make-kpkg docs has details.
