Hmm, is that not too much work, especially when 5.3 and further releases 
show their heads ?

It's still the v1 of the driver, so basically the same that you used .. 
except that i rebuilt it from 
http://repo.redhat-club.org/redhat/5/SRPMS/atl2-kmod-1.0.40.4-el5.rhc.1.src.rpm 
...
We tried with Manuel Wolfshant to have the v2 driver built on 2.6.18 but 
it didn't work (Manuel took contact with the devel guy but i think he 
had still no answer )

Yeah, sorry for that (but of course i didn't intend to continue the 
discussion on the -docs list).. i think i should have divided my post in 
two : one for -docs regarding the created wiki page and the other one 
about the core discussion ..
