One question, if I may: Is the kernel that this module is working with installed from the 2.2.17 kernel image deb or did you compile it from the kernel sources? It seemed to me that the fact that I installed the sources, but tried to run the module with the precompiled kernel might have caused the problem described by you (and experienced by me).
