hi,
as i do have the same problem i may help you out.

at first, syskonnect did send their kernel diffs/patches but they we're rejected caused
by coding style, indention and some people thinking that things can be done better.

i personally do apply these drivers with the generate patch function of the install.sh.

there were small modifications within kernel 2.6.16 with i also sended as a diff to syskonnect, 
but got not reply.

i attached the diff, maybe it helps ya out. it works with my 2 onboard marvell yukon gbit adapters.

regards
marcel
