Hi Pontus,
sure, ethtool is older than 2.4.23, but ethtool_ops is not. It's a
back-port from 2.6 introduced in 2.4.23. I guess a lot of people use
just default kernels supplied with distros and the patch was meant as
a workaround to give them the opportunity to benefit from ndiswrapper,
which will just fail to compile otherwise.

Cheers,
