Ciao Dean Takemori, nel tuo messaggio dicevi:
Unfortunately it turns out that the driver will not compile
against the Yellowdog 4.0 (2.6.8-1.ydl.7) ppc kernel. I'm
no expert but in addition to probable endian problems, the
main issue appears to be x86 assumptions and asm usage.

Since you made me curious, I downloaded the driver and tried to

it against my 2.6.9 custom kernel.
Actually, it compiled quite fine (lots of warnings, but no errors),
but
when I tried to modprobe it I had some unresolved symbols: now I don't
know if this could be because I have no dongle yet, or if it is not
working on its own.

Trying to modprobe the module into the kernel gives

I've also tried to compile and load the driver on an Athlon-XP box
running FC 1 (2.4.22-1.2199.nptl) kernel. Same compilation warnings
but the module loads cleanly. (Whether or not it actually works
with the hardware is another issue)
I did some Google research and came up with this thread:
http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2004-August/000910.html
I'm unsure as to the correct fix (patch the kernel to export the
functions or find a more correct way to program around the missing
exports)
BTW, the same problem occurs with YDL 4.0 update kernel 2.6.9-1.ydl.8
