The first use of make-kpkg in the marlow.dk howto simply sets up the .config file to match the binary installed kernel that you are running.The second use appends the new modules (in this case madwifi) to thethe existing kernel by building a madwifi-modules deb file you can install.So although you

You do not need to compile your own kernel, just the module.Instructions as to how to do this can be found at:- http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/madwifiand yes those instructions are Debian specific.There are an error in that page, and some changes needed if you are using 2.6.12.In the first
