I have found module versioning causing too much problems and have
disabled it from most kernels I use.. Anyway, it is good to know that it
works.

Well.. I released v0.0.3 so that I could start making larger changes
that can potential break things and will need more testing. And yes, I
have already committed such changes. Using old build system ('make
pccard') should still work with v0.0.3 when compiling for 2.4.x or
2.2.x. In addition, Host AP Makefile changes after v0.0.3 already broke
building for Linux 2.2.x (should be fixed now), so I think these changes
should anyway be tested with more combinations before making a new
release.
