order to have the device working, I should upgrade my system to Sid or even
maybe simply upgrade only my kernel to 2.6.25-2-686.
I wonder if there is a third possibility, i.e. keep my old kernel but simply
recompile it. Can anybody suggest if such a way is good and how I can know
the proper module to install before compiling the kernel?

... so having a Debian Etch with a 2.6.25 kernel? Doesn't it sound strange?
So what? Don't sound strange to me:
1. Download http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2
2. Download
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.25-7.diff.gz
3. Follow these directions:
