I use a non standard kernel number (2.4.0-7), so kernel symbol names
are mangled in a different way that prevent the mwavedd.o module to be 
loaded. Anyway, you can apply a couple of:

sed 's/old_symbol_name/new_symbol_name/g' < module.o > newmodule.o

where new_symbol_name is taken from /proc/ksyms. This hack works 
because old_ and new_symbol_name have the same size...
Beware, this modification is forbidden by the license agreement of
this driver.

Another point :
the modem uses two irqs : one for uart and one for dsp. You have the
possibility to share a single irq with ps2.exe. This feature doesn't
seem to be usable with the linux driver. Anyone can confirm this ?

Just my two cents.
