I hope, modules.txt, in Documentation dir of your kernel src, will
explain this.
Perhaps Olitec supplied a binary-only module, e2.o, for some
specific 2.4.x kernel. In that case, there's no easy way to make
it work on 2.6.
OTOH, if there's a GPLed driver, it can be ported to 2.6 with some
effort - the main benefit of FLOSS.
In general, you should completely avoid buying hardware for which
there is no GPLed driver, to avoid situations like this. Try
writing to Olitec and complaining, if there's no open-source driver.
