I tested them (compilation test) with kernel version 2.6.9, without any major errors.
  On another laptop, running stock debian kernel version 2.4.26-1-i386 it compiled, 
  but didn't loaded ok (driver version 3.14.6); I'll try to test to see if my patches
  are to blame and get back to you probably tomorrow.

unfortunatelly no .. 
As I told to Øystein Gisnås, I hope somebody else, with much more experience then
 me will do it first. I had a patch, but as it's not logically/functionally correct
 I discarded it.
