I'm sorry, I was only aware of one version of the drivers. I picked i up
from the Zaurus Zone support forums:

http://www.iral.com:88/~albertr/zaurus/spectrum_cs.zip

I will try to build from the sources you provided. And yes, I know the
driver was loaded. I got a ton of content in dmesg.. literally looked
like it was just dumping memory.

I definitely updated my config file to include references to the
Spectrum24.
