Use config file for 2.4.18-bf2.4 from /boot. If you want to retain
"-bf.24" in name of the kernel you compile, use "--append-to-version"
option to make-kpkg.

Source should be kernel-source-2.4.18.

I think you will need to compile your own kernel. I use pwc and pwcx
modules from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ for my Logitech
Quickcam. To get that to work, I have to compile kernel and module
with "# CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set" in the config file.

make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --append-to-version=[whatever_I_want] kernel_image
make-kpkg --appent-to-version=[whatever_I_want] modules_image #if needed

http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/install.html has instructions for how
to do it without using make-kpkg.
