You can fix the mace_set_timeout() function arguments by having
a helper function that simply wraps around it and provides the
second expection of argument types.
Your patch is also wrong, it's missing a lot of netdev_ops
entries that are implicitly obtained via alloc_etherdev(),
namely:
.ndo_change_mtu = eth_change_mtu,
.ndo_set_mac_address = eth_mac_addr,
.ndo_validate_addr = eth_validate_addr,
