This module is available in 2.6.21. Not sure how much earlier than that it appeared. We've found that devices using this chip have some issues: they don;t work with an MTU of 1500 - you have to turn it down to 1486. This is true on 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 with the hardware we have. Something would appear to be quite broken. They work fine on windows. They are incredibly cheap though :-) GBP 2.45!

You should just be able to download the above. To build it locally you need linux-2.6 source pakcage and make-kpkg binary package. make-kpkg docs has details.
