Off the top of my head, without having tried to compile it myself, I'd say
that under kubuntu 6.06 you were using a compatible kernel, and support has
been removed in later kernels - but it's also possible that your kernel is
not compiled with the necessary options.  I've had my own problems with
drivers like that...  I used to boot into a 2.4 kernel to go online, then
reboot into a 2.6 kernel to do real work (without Internet access) :-(

The tough part here is that if you ever upgrade your kernel, you're now
hosed, unless you figure out how to get the driver to compile.  What
exactly are the driver and the device?
