I did compile my kernel with make-kpkg following the instructions in the
reamde. I didn't know it was possible to compile the drivers together with
a new kernel and end up with a new kernel deb and debs for the drivers.
It's like an all in 1 effort then. I like that :)
I'll check the man page of make-kpkg

Thanks for the info
