I've thought about building a package, but the source is non-free and
so it would never be able to be a part of Debian proper. You'd also
need a package specific to your kernel; if I built one, it'd only
support the kernel-image-2.4.22-1 in unstable (or possibly have no
prebuilt modules at all; many kernel module packages work that way).
You might try building the driver on another machine that has the
source for the kernel on (presumably) your laptop, or seeing if you
could get away from building the modules against only a kernel-headers
package.
