	..or if your kernel is recent enough, you can modprobe the visor
driver, passing in the right parameters at module load time. Unfortunately,
since your kernel is 2.4.21, it is too old (and known exploits exist in that
kernel version), you should upgrade the entire kernel itself, to the most
current kernel, which I believe is 2.4.26, as I write this.

	Upgrade the kernel to 2.4.26, and you should either get a working
Kyocera right off the bat. At least with a kernel version of 2.4.22 or
later, you will be able to pass the right vendor/product string to the
module at load time to match your device (assuming that it doesn't require
special code-level treatment, like many Sony models do).
