IC Plus Corp IC Plus IP1000

I am not on this list, but found this address on:   
http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Mailing_Lists.

My question is regarding the ethernet controller (from lspci):

Sundance Technology Inc / IC Plus Corp IC Plus IP1000 Family Gigabit 
Ethernet (rev 41)

that seems to have a driver for it published on:

http://www.icplus.com.tw/driver-pp-IP1000A.html

Unfortunately I am not able to build it as described.

I wonder if it at some time will be included in the standard Linux kernel?
I am of course interested because my main board has it built in, so I 
would be willing to test it.

Thanks,
Peter
