You might try the new cs4236 driver in 2.2.17/2.2.18 kernels. I can't
say if it's built by default in the Debian kernel images. You can
probably find out most of the info you need for the driver by using
lspci (probably need to know I/O port, IRQ, and the two dma channels).
If that driver doesn't work, the cs4232 one might.
