Hello Harsha, I'm not sure if this is the right list, because it's topic is more about the development of Debian specific things, as software packages (.deb), and such.
But - you'll find a lot of knowlegdable people her, and probably someone
with more help than I can give you ...

The 2.4 kernel series and the 2.6 kernel series are quite different. You
can't expect for some piece of software (driver) to just compile cleanly
against the 2.6 kernel (headers). But, if you where able to write the
driver, you should be able to apply the neccessary changes ;-), it's
just the kernel API that changed...
It's not a Debian specific issue, it would bite you with a 2.6 kernel on
a Red Hat system too. The 2.4 kernels are meanwhile somewhat outdated...
