kernel help

[Daniel Dalton <d.dalton@iinet.net.au>]

Hi,

Here is my situation:
- I have built a 2.6.26 debian kernel and generated a .deb file with
aditional patches applied and built into the kernel (built in as well as
modules).
I also need to use the madwifi driver for my atheros, chipset wireless
card. So how can I add the ath_pci module to my already built kernel
with my custom patches?
Can I grab the source for the kernel, apply my patches again and also
apply the madwifi patch? Is there a madwifi patch around that I could
just apply to the source of the kernel and then rebuild?

It's a bit of a pain since the kernel compilation does take a while, but
I guess I have to do it. So what's the best solution for this?

Thanks for any help,

Daniel
