I was using 2.4.18 for a while, but I got 2.5.34 configured far nicer
for my laptop (FX702).

This is a strange problem, because the changelog does say that the code
has been altered to work with the 2.5 kernels (after a brief
conversation between myself and marc over getting an older version of
the drivers working for me. Better start digging through emails for the
time being then... :) )
