I succeeded in compiling a custom kernel with amd74xx included, and my problem is now solved. It took me a few tries, though.

I can send you the kernel image and headers, but be aware that (1) you'll have to remove your restricted modules and nvidia driver, and install the nvidia driver manually from the nvidia web site, which isn't too hard, and (2) I compiled a kernel specifically for my processor, which means if you don't have a 64-bit AMD processor (Athlon 64, Turion 64, or Opteron) it won't work properly on your system. If you have a Broadcom wireless card like I do, you'll also have to manually compile and install the STA driver (the best walkthrough I could find for that was actually for Fedora, but worked perfectly - http://www.cenolan.com/2008/10/installing-the-broadcom-sta-driver-fedora-9/ ).

Now that I think of it, you probably wouldn't be using the amd kernel module if you didn't also have an amd processor, so here's a link to the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/174771308/v3000-kernel.tar.gz.html
