Thank you, help would be appreciated :-)
I already know how to compile a kernel but I never tried to compile a
single module.

These are the steps. Correct me if I'm worng:

Download my debian kernel sources.
Find the file.
Apply the changes.
Compile the module (how?)
Load the module
Test nbd-client

Googeling I found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/compiling-single-kernel-module-only-409523/

make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/the_module_directory
in our case
make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/block

Then I manualy remove
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/block/nbd.ko
anc copy the new nbd.ko

right?

ps: in that way I copile all modules of a directory, not just one.
