If I remember it right the maintainer (gstark@mit.edu) already have
orphaned it. I have begun the work of a new version of the packages, but I
not done yet. I haven't filed a bug against wnpp about it yet, because
I want to be sure that I can handle it. It compiles with never version now,
but I still have to figure out how to create a source package for the
kernel module.
And I'm looking for a sponsor :-)
