The Live! card has worked well for me, but under the 2.4.16/17 kernel. Have you looked at the open source support for the Live from creative? Not sure what they have for 2.2.x, but, it is my understanding, that they have code available at their site. I'll check and see if I have the URL around here somewhere.
