...so one would think...yes it is supported technically, and the atp870u
driver does exist...but the 2.4 one does not work, that is a known fact.
browsing the forums, it seems that people were complaining about
>2037 not working, but that the original one worked just fine.
some of the code has a different format in 2.4 than 2.2 and 2.0,
mostly the external stuff to load as modules...etc, but i can't get it
to work.
so i needed help porting the old one into the new 2.4 framework
if you will.

I think you need to work out why the newer one is failing on your specific
hardware. Standard Red Hat kernel....

Umm the atp870u is supported in 2.2 and 2.4 by the default kernels.

something about 4 month ago I had a card like this one.
I put it in my desktop and couldn't load the module( no crash).
I don't remember the error but I can get it back into my desktop and
have some test with it. I was problably using 2.4.7 at this time (
vanilla compiled by me , not the debian one ).
