Hi Eric,

cd in your kernel-source directory (/usr/src/kernel-whatever-source).
After you compiled your kernel run from here:

make-kpkg --revision number modules_image

After finishing do cd .. and install the image with:

dpkg --install module-whatever.deb

See alo as an example /usr/share/doc/pcmcia-source/README.gz
