Ok, I updated it to 6.05, and can be found here:
ftp://ftp.puk.ac.za/incoming/sk98lin-update-2.5.68.patch.bz2
A few issues though:
1) Should MOD_INC_USE_COUNT and MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT just be removed?
I commented them for now.
2) What other changes should be done for 2.5 ?
Thanks,

No. For the net device itself, make sure you do
SET_MODULE_OWNER() on the netdev before passing it
to register_netdevice().
For the procfs stuff you must make sure the appropriate
module refcounting is done for that mechanism.
Just deleteing MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT blindly will result
in the module being broken.
