I have this card too and couldn't get it to work with
any distros that I tried, Mandrake 9.1, Debian Woody
and Knoppix, all produced the insmod error you gave.
Installed Mandrake 9.2 today and it works fine with
the odd fizzing noise ;)

To be honest don't know why. Would building your own
kernel help given that they are module errors? That
might be a complete red herring though.
