Bug#728535: so far

[Geert Stappers <stappers@stappers.nl>]

Summary: help is welcome

After a

   apt-get source linux
   cd linux-VERSION
   fakeroot debian/rules binary

there is linux-image-VERSION.deb that can be install.

Succesfull rebooted with that new kernel.

Edit on the kernel module source file, to add USB ID.

Now is wanted the fastest way to get a  .ko with the extra USB ID.

Attempt 1:
Executed `fakeroot debian/rules binary-arh
Produced a same size .ko, but it should be bigger due the extra USB ID

Attempt 2:
Executed `make -j 3`
Failed with error about missing the .config file

Attempt 3 & 4:
