[Techtalk] compiling an external kernel module

[Carla Schroder]

O Great Kernel Geeks,

I've been butting my head on this for a week now, therefore I appeal to 
greater minds than mine. How do you compile a kernel module that is not 
included in the kernel sources? Do you have to get the sources, and write a 
makefile, and invoke gcc, and horrid stuff like that? What's a person who 
wants to run a hardware device that is not supported in the kernel to do?

thanks much!
