Building kernel module: rtl8192se

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Dear all,

  I am trying to build the rtl8192se module for my running debian
kernel. I have the patch that apply cleanly on linux 2.6.38 (*).
However I failed to find any documentation for building this wireless
driver.
  I tried the brutal approach of building the entire kernel, see below.

  All I am looking for is a simple page where it would describe the
step to build a specific kernel module on a debian machine.

  apt-get source linux-2.6
  cd linux-2.6-2.6.38
  patch -p1 < ~/Downloads/wireless-next-2.6.38.patch
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

But this fails with:

--> base fully applied.
--> Try to apply 2.
