[Voyage-linux] Building kernel modules the Debian way

Hi All

I wanted to build a particular versions of the madwifi-ng drives which I
was able to do by download and installing the following.

kernel-source-2.6.15-voyage_2.0-9_all.deb
madwifi-ng-source_0.9.0+svn1408-1_all.deb

I then checkout the version I wanted and and placed it in the
/usr/src/modules in place of the original madwifi tools.
I then copied in the debian directory and adjusted the change log.

This all build and I ended with kernel and modules deb packages.

The issue is I can not work out how to build the madwifi-ng-tools there
does not seem the be any requirement for them to be build in the control
or rules files.

How was this done originally ?

Also how do I make the name more like the normal voyage deb packages,
mine are like this
madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15_0.9.0+svn1648-1+10.00.Custom_i386.deb

Thanks
Mike
