I just added this driver to ubuntu 13.04. The current version does not
compile as it still uses the __dev* macros for hotplug devices which
have now been removed from the kernel. (cleanup of driver initialisation
code to save memory is no longer done)
Kernel 3.8.0-26-generic -
I modified jme.c from the downloaded tarball:
- remove '__devinit' from declaration of jme_init_one() at about line 3444
- remove function 'jme_remove_one' in its entirety at about line 3732
- remove '.remove = __devexit_p(jme_init_one)' from 'jme_driver' structure at
about line 3905
A better way to do the above changes is to add a conditional on the
kernel version and define the '__dev*' macros as blank.
Issuing 'make' and 'make install' now works and the ethernet interface
is active and functional after a reboot.
A complete script to do this(note that the download is commented out as
I have now modified the driver and do not want to overwrite the changes:

** Patch added: "comment out old __dev macros - a better solution would be to
add conditional checks on kernel version"
