slink is _very_ old (even potato, 2.2, is old). I recommend that you
upgrade your system, if at all possible, and get a new kernel.

What is means is your card is different from the old ones, and thus
you need the new driver for it.

What kernel version are you using? A new kernel should have the new
driver with it. I recommend upgrading your kernel to the latest
stable release (either 2.2.20 or 2.4.17, your choice, I'm using 2.4.17
right now).
