I have checked linux-2.6.32 and this version of the arcmsr module doesn't 
support the arc-1880 controller.
linux-2.6.37 seems to support that controller:

{PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ARECA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_ARECA_1880)}

You need a newer kernel for the installer but i don't know how to advise you 
to do that.
