A new edition of adm8211-source_0.0.20050620-1 is available at http://web.ncf.ca/jmranger/adm8211/It should fix all items previously mentioned, and more.Looks clean for me. Build and installs the driver as expected with kernel 2.6.12.
Thanks. Glad to know.
About the hotplug/udev issue:udev explicitly provides hotplug, so this shouldn't be a problem. However, since I tested successfully with udev, I chose to change my depends to (hotplug | udev).Does the driver require hotplug or udev at all? If it is for cardbus cards, I think the usual PCI drivers should work after loading manually (cardbus is hotplugable PCI, before you ask).
Upstream author list hotplug among its requirements. Trying without hotplug/udev was the first thing I did after reading Paul's comment, but I didn't managed to get it working (my test setup is cardbus, as you suspected). It seems faily typical - it's also mandatory for ipw2100-source, which was my template.
