Subject: Developing non-commercial drivers ?

Linus, others...

I'm working for as a consultant for a large hardware company porting
Linux to their new cpu-architecture and everything is pretty much
up and running. Now they want us to develop a closed-source (to
protect their IP) ethernet driver for their proprietary Ethernet MAC.

My question is:    Is there a fair way to do this and still comply to
the intent and spirit of the Linux licensing ?

If yes, how ?
