Lack of source is a problem.
Try to run objdump -dr module.o on the module. Look for the init_module
section and try to figure it out. If you're VERY lucky it will be simple
and you can understand what it's doing. Try to look for calls for
outside functions (from the kernel itslef), they will appear slightly
indented, and will be mangeld like so: printk_nhc73hd (this is just an
example). this will tell you which kernel function are being called, and
maybe you can figure out which of them changed from the kernel version
which is supposed to be ok and the one you're trying to use it with.
And of course, I would try it first with a version of the kernel it is
supposed to work with, just to make sure it does work...
It's a slight chance, but amazingly enough a friend of mind actually
succedded in doing something like this once...
Good luck! you'll need it ;-)
