Uhm. Does it mean that in the Kernel source you are using they output 
kernel messages differently? Weird...
In any case all the printk with "__FUNCTION__" (they may be misusage, 
why not, just tell me) are just temporary. I plan to release a polished 
version in one or two days.
In any case, smsc-ircc2 it is reported working on kernel 2.4.x series 
(x=18, 19+LT patches). Said that, there is no reason but faulty 
compilation (like the one Jean and Martin reported to you) for it not 
being compiled where the old smc-ircc does.
Any report is welcome, though.

Bye,
Daniele
