I've followed these instructions, but am a total newb at compiling kernel modules, and am having trouble during the make step.
A couple of things I had to differently to get to the make step were:
tar xvf linux-source*.tar.bz2 (note no z option)
then i had to cd into linux-source-2.6.17/drivers/usb/serial instead of just drivers/usb/serial
however after patching make fails with the following error:
root@my-laptop:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/drivers/usb/serial# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` make: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/build' make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/build'
any suggestions?
