    The clean way is make deb-pkg from the root of the kernel tree. It will

minutes. I don't
    consider this a problem, but...

    The fastest way is to simply make, then copy the changed modules into

    a debian point of view, it is very dirty.


Yeah, I guess I prefer the very quick and dirty way. I added them to 
/lib/modules/.../updates/ and
ran depmod. Good enough for me. As long as I don't dig too deep in b43 I 
probably won't need to do
full kernel builds.

My biggest concern right now is that the modules I build cannot be rmmod-ed 
after being inserted.
This happens with any custom built modules, including the dkms built ones (eg. 
nvidia).

I really suggest you once try building the whole kernel with deb-pkg, then touch a single file in b43, then rebuild. The overhead of producing .deb files is not null, but not big enough to stop me from rebuilding on every try. And I assume it would solve this module unload issue.

        Nicolas.
