Kernel 2.4 is still used for some specialized reasons, but few people want to use it unless they have such specific reasons. Also, few want to use Sarge, since it doesn't get security updates. Perhaps you might give us a few details about your system and your requirements.
Do you have a severe memory constraint, for example?(Most driver updates these days probably assume the 2.6 kernel. You may have to roll back to an older driver, if there is one. Also, it seems you are unsure what hardware you actually have. It might help to find out for sure. The difference might be significant.)
