Unless you have experience integrating drivers into the kernel, it is likely to be non-trivial. It is possible that the driver is not written in such a way that it can be integrated into the kernel without modification (i.e. it may be that it can only be compiled as a module). Try contacting the author of the driver, Donald Becker. His address is on the scyld pages, as well as in the natsemi.c file. Be sure you tell him what kernel version you're using. At the very least, adding the driver to the kernel will involve editing linux/drivers/net/Config.in. I'm not sure if there's a way that the driver hackers auto-generate this file, or if it should be done manually. It looks to be manual to me.
