[Voyage-linux] Building kernel modules the Debian way

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Mike,

Download the 3 files:
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.2/madwifi-ng/madwifi-ng_0.9.0+svn1408-1.dsc
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.2/madwifi-ng/madwifi-ng_0.9.0+svn1408-1.diff.gz
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.2/madwifi-ng/madwifi-ng_0.9.0+svn1408.orig.tar.gz

and run
    dpkg-source -x madwifi-ng_0.9.0+svn1408-1.dsc
go to the source directory generated by dpkg-source and run
    debuild

this will generate madwifi-ng-source, madwifi-ng-tools and 
madwifi-ng-dev deb packages.

To build module with your own version/revision naming:

DEBKPKG_REV="3.0-1"
DEBKPKG_FLAVOUR="-486"
DEBKPKG_SUFFIX="voyage"
$ADD_MOD="madwifi-ng"

make-kpkg --revision=$DEBKPKG_REV \
--append-to-version "$DEBKPKG_FLAVOUR-$DEBKPKG_SUFFIX" \
$ADD_MOD modules-image

Regards,
Punky
