All code can be seen in the CVS:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=91681
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gclib/ (web interface)

GC_BBA.c
(  
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gclib/GCLIBCVS/GC_BBA.c? 
rev=1.1&view=auto )
has all BBA code. It also includes (TCP)/IP code, which is not needed  
for Linux. We just need a network device driver.

The network device sits on top top the EXI bus, so it makes sense to  
coordinate your effort with hubb, who is doing the EXI driver.
