mesh driver in ubuntu

[Polychronis Ypodimatopoulos]

I have Ubuntu 7.04 with 2.6.20-16 and want to use the 8388 USB module
with my system. I guess I either need to jump to 2.6.22, or compile the
driver for 2.6.20. I would prefer the second as the upstream version of
the driver does not come with all the features I need. So, do I just get
the driver and compile it? Any directions on the wiki?

thanks,
p.
