The documentation is not very good for Voyage in this mather (well it 
used to be in dokuwiki, but only remains as a text files), but it is 
quite simple to build your own kernel and modules (preferably with voyage 
in virtualbox with dev tools):

apt-get install linux-source-3.0.0-voyage # download source code
cd /usr/src
tar -jxf linux-source-3.0.0-voyage.tar.bz2 # extract the voyage kernel 
source to linux-source-3.0.0-voyage
wget 
http://mirror.voyage.hk/download/kernel_config/config-3.0.0-voyage_10.0-1 
# Downloading kernel configuration 
http://www.voyage.hk/download/kernel_config
cp config-3.0.0-voyage_10.0-1 linux-source-3.0.0-voyage/.config
dc linux-source-3.0.0-voyage
make menuconfig # Enable kernel module and drivers
make-kpkg –revision=“1.0” -append-to-version ”-voyage-my” linux-image –rootcmd fakeroot –initrd # building Debian kernel image
