Hi Mehdi, I am currently running the drivers on 2.6.25.11 with no problems. I will forward you the precompiled modules that I have built. In theory they will work on your system. I deal with newer kernel versions as my distro (SuSE) provides them, so it is not bleeding-edge, but also not too out-of date. I should also point out that those kernel errors are oft triggered by an odd combination of snd_hda_intel and agrmodem/agrserial.ko modules, or any stray copies of these modules in /lib/modules. Compiling from source is not an easy task, so please try the attached precompiled modules first. ( be sure to remove duplicates from your /lib/modules, issue 'depmod -ae' and then reboot to ensure all traces of the old modules are gone).
