The RH Kernal alway´s have loadable module support, but the driver take a
look in /usr/src/linux if THIS source is configures for loadable module
support. Because the source is "clean" at this moment, the driver could not
find the needed modules support.

try this:

copy the RH System.map from /boot/System.map-2.4.xx to
/usr/src/linux/System.map
go to /usr/src/linux, "make clean" and "make mrproper"
"make menuconfig" and load the current config from /boot (must be
config-2.4.xx or so)
save settings an go out of menuconfig
"make dep"
try to build the driver

testet on Mandrake 9.1(rc1), worked without to compile a new kernel
