Normally you would approach this by first making sure you can rebuild the kernel already on the device using the existing configuration file so that it works. This can be challenging if you have trouble tracking down the precise sources and compiler that were used, or if the procedure for installing a kernel on the device is less than clearly specified. Then you take a driver for the peripheral, preferably one already tested on a desktop linux 2.6 kernel, and try to build and configure that in the proven kernel for your android device. It may be simpler to do it as a built-in rather than as a module, unless your device already has module based drivers which you can use as an example for where to store them and when to load them. Then you do whatever you need to in userspace to make the new device useful to custom applications (could be as easy as adding a device file) or the android platform (perhaps quite a bit of work) -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
