I'm afraid my c and linux network driver programming knowledge is not good enough to dare to take up such a project. However, I would volunteer to do the dirty work, i.e. bring it to linux coding style, try to clean up some #ifdef and typedef things, if there is someone to take it over afterwards, who will do the "real" work.
