Does Knoppix 3.4 uses hotplug to dynamically load modules for USB devices?
Please tell us (with one of the 2.4 kernels, e.g. the regular one) the
output of these commands (after successfully compiling and installing the
Berlios driver for the current kernel):

uname -a
find /lib/modules -name at76c503\*
ls -ld /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
head -4 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/Makefile

Chances are that the running kernel does not match the kernel source
and/or the Berlios modules got installed in the wrong dir.

What's the exact problem here?

?? The one matching your running kernel, after configured to match it.
