I just started playing with dh_make and I can see it is written to help you package binaries/libraries. I guess this is where I'm having difficulting picking up debian, because I'm talking about installing 3rd party kernel modules and support binares. E.g., this is an example of what our current RPMs install (and each RPM is built from a kernel-specific SPECfile -- something I hope I can avoid with Debian's powerful dpkg/apt system): /etc/pcmcia /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts /etc/wlan /etc/wlan/shared /lib/modules /lib/modules/2.4.9-12 /lib/modules/2.4.9-12/net /lib/modules/2.4.9-12/net/p80211.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-12/net/prism2_pci.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-12/net/prism2_plx.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-12/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.9-12/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o /sbin/nwepgen /sbin/wlancfg /sbin/wlanctl-ng /sbin/wland It's not a kernel patch though. It builds independently (like ALSA). Again, I'm sorry about this being so "broad/elementary". I guess I just need to start "playing" with the dpkg tools and see what does what (there are just so many it seems). -- TheBS -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] chat:thebs413 Engineer AbsoluteValue Systems, Inc. http://www.linux-wlan.org President SmithConcepts, Inc. http://www.SmithConcepts.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- "The [US] Constitution guarantees you Free, not Fair.
