Yes, now you can have module version 0.3 for kernels 2.0.36 and 2.2.10 compiled. We will have sources (compiled core + some sources platform indep. to be compiled in various versions of kernel) in the first q. 2000.

It will not be open sourced completely but if it will work I think I will not mind it... I think some source to be compiled on various kernels will be enough for me. I did not say I like this non-free model but what can I do with it ?

You need not to downgrade to those kernels, simply use "-f" switch ;-)
Good luck
