Trilok, I should have announced this earlier, but I am working on recoding this driver to truely get it into linux fold as this driver was "linuxified" some time back (thanks to Kevin for the efforts) as it was not written for Linux originally, but we decided not to touch it too much with the fear of breaking its functionality. Right now I am of the opinion that it just needs a clean revamp in data structures and the code in general as there is a lot of unused code in there and featuers that need to be removed apart from running checkpatch and moving it to latest netdev changes . Thanks for initiating this and we can work together in completing this task.
