Turns out to be the case indeed and it's a bit of a Debian specific
pain though not that difficult to solve in the end: you need at least
a 2.4.19 kernel or else you have to compile the driver separately
from source (which I managed once but then opted to compile the
2.4.19 kernel source which is supplied in Debian stable (=3.0r2 =
Woody) though that's only there for the MIPS installations in
principle. Another way would be to go for a backport from
http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/woody/
