This tells you which drivers are available for your existing kernel. If you
fetch the kernel-source-2.4.26 package you will get the source of the kernel
which will show you all the drivers available.
However it looks like you already have the only driver that supports your card
and it does not support it very well.
So the quick solution is to find another card...
