WinCE Ethernet driver are NDIS driver, which is not the case of Linux ones,
so it won't be easy to just "convert it"

You should probably redevelop the driver from a WinCE sample, and
potentially reinject low level portions of code from Linux driver for
hardware accesses.
Check your licensing, because I'm not sure you are allowed to include code
from Linux into CE (especially with GPL licence). In this case, you'll have
to perform reverse engineering on the Linux driver to recode it into CE.
