My strategy is going to be 1) Copy all > .c and .h files to a temp directory. 2) Create Makefile as above. 3) > make. 4) Copy *.ko modules to appropriate directory in /lib/modules. This is a strategy that should work. Attached is what I think is a suitable Makefile for the temp directory. It's basically a combined version of the Makefile in the release notes plus the Makefiles in the three module directories. You'll probably want to run "strip -g *.ko" after building the modules, before installing them to somewhere under /lib/modules/`uname - r`/kernel/drivers and running "depmod -a" Good luck!
