Although the paths you listed were a bit off (which caused me to originally
think you were wrong, the actual paths are
/lib/modules/2.4.18-*/kernel/drivers/net/{wireless,pcmcia}), it turns out that
there are indeed two versions of the airo driver.  We've disabled the older
driver in our current source tree and this should be reflected in future kernels.
