You might want to diff the file you downloaded and the one from the kernel-source in order to avoid extra work. My expectation is that there will be at most minor insignificant differences because I believe it is an old card that is not produced any more. Do post the results of the diff to the list in case you will do that. Does your card intended for the ISA bus? If so you might want to check whether it is of the PNP type. I do keep here the (DOS) gz122.exe which I have downloaded from http://www.vobis.de/bbs/support/brett47 and will hopefully work with your card. Just in case the PNP causes to much difficulties.
