So which module loads now? The "avision" ?

Suggestion: try any newer "live" distro (e.g. http://kanotix.org) - this works 
for me on my box with the AV220. That way, you can at least rule out hardware 
problems etc.

I never had much joy with USB on the old 2.4 kernels - any special reason why 
you would be stuck with such an oldie?
