Compare it how?  The drivers that show up on our SF site also have the
same patches pushed upstream.  The problem is that it can take a while
for those changes to show up due to when merge windows happen.  

The main difference is that the SF version is "stand-alone" version.
Meaning that you can compile and use it on a wide range of kernels going
back to 2.4.19 and 2.6.5. 

If you are looking for something specific you'll need to diff the code
yourself.

Cheers,
John
