Thanks for the driver.  Comments in line

Do you really need this?  If __KERNEL__ isn't defined, something would seem to
be in my mind horribly wrong, and you would want to error out of the build,
rather than just trying to fix it up.

Indentation should be consistent.

Can you invert the logic of the if clause here to avoid having to have a do
nothing path?

If this is really for debugging on i386 only (which I don't think is actually
the case), you probably want to change the ifdef to be something more meaningful
like #ifdef DEBUG, or some such.

Probably want to change all the comments to be C style, like the others in the
file

You seem to have some extraneous data in your private structure.  Haven't
checked them all, but mcastlock and mcast_filter appear to be unused.  You
probably want to scrub this structure to only include things you are currently
using.

Definately need to use the kernel internal types, and may want to change
ProbeDone to be stylistically in line with the other variables in this struct
(i.e. probe_done).
