The point is: This patch runs fine on lenny, but it prevents me to 
upgrade to squeeze. Building the module against kernel 2.6.32 in squeeze 
results in errors. So I edited the source and now it runs on kernel 2.6.32.
But I have to do this every time I update the Kernel. This is a laptop 
of a friend who doesn't have the knowledge of building a new kernel. So 
I prefer an inside-the-kernel solution.

Not yet. Thank you for submitting the addresses. I'll contact them as 
soon as possible.
