        I don't know what the WIRELESS-LAN-HOWTO says, but, for the
 record, I also make my own kernel images and pcmcia modules, and it
 works every time, for the only Linux distribution I really care
 about.

For the record, I made my kernels the "Linux way" before, but as I got acquainted with make-kpkg, I stick to it. The only modification I need is that after the installation of created kernel package, I need to modify some link names in the root dir. Since I have more than one kernel installed, I cannot have them all named 'vmlinuz'... :)

It is so convenient to have a .deb package to install...
