The usual way to compile a driver of a modem is to apply the modem
source code to the /usr/src/linux kernel tree as a patch, using a method like this:


cd /usr/src
patch -p0 < modem_code_patch.diff
<snip>

im just asking for clarification, wont this step require the patch to be specific to a specific kernel-source of a specific distro (or something similar)? im asking since the kernels of most distros are already loaded with numerous patches.

ciao!
