The original report (#284356) was submitted by Joey Hess and made no
reference to proprietary modules.  This affects modules shipped by
Debian too.

The problem is that a new Debian release of the "same" kernel (2.4.27-1)
has changed symbol version suffixes, thus breaking modules that were
compiled against earlier releases of this kernel.
