There should already be a driver in the kernel that supports the hardware that 
you need that driver for.   I believe the driver will be called skge.

It is very likely a kernel change in the newer kernel is not compatible with the 
sk98linux driver code that you have, the errors are consistent with a kernel 
change causing the older driver to not compile.
