If you are only building 1 new module, then make-kpkg is overkill.
Just do a 'make ; make install' on the one module. (Well, if it comes
with a makefile, the epro100 source from intel does) The point is
that you don't need a new kernel just to add a single module to your
installation. Worst case scenario I think you would only need to get
the kernel source and overwrite the driver with the new version, build
it, then manually copy the tulip.o file to the modules directory.
