Yes, I figured as much, but as I also noted, it doesn't work either. 
Quoting myself:

- the latest driver from syskonnect.com fails during "Compile the 
kernel" when running install.sh, either expert or user mode. The 
install.log contains these errors:
-- In function 'sk98lin_resume';
-- error: too many arguments to funcion 'pci_restore_state'
-- a similar error for sk98lin_resume and function pci_save_state

If needed, I can provide more details.
