Linux kernel 2.6 introduced major structural changes to the way driver modules are built and loaded. As a result, existing KYRO drivers are not compatible with any Linux kernel whose version is 2.6 or above. To keep using KYRO drivers, users are requested to use the latest available 2.4 Linux kernel version. We have currently no plans of providing drivers supporting updated kernels.
The N770/N800 uses 2.6+ only.

There are also a number of binary chunks in that driver that I'm sure would be a barrier for a porter.

The only doc I know of on converting from 2.4 to 2.6:
