If you need to get a fully exploded kernel source tree, you can follow
the steps at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel to do so.
Hopefully that will help get you what you need to build the driver you
need.
That's what I was looking for thanks...

That's the one I found, it's scary. It's nothing like: make menuconfig,
make, make modules-install after checking out a few links for correction
and a make mrproper, is it??

Actually, it is exactly like running make menuconfig, make and make rpm if make rpm would cause the initrd to be built.
That is, it is what you remember wrapped by all the complexity of RPM:
You now have to install an SRPM instead of untaring a kernel tree,
you now have to play games to get a source tree you can do a config in (make mrproper becomes rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec) you now have to change the config and then put it where rpm expects (insert the step cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-<arch>) and you have to ask rpm to build the set for you (make install becomes rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec)

Has the world has passed me by ...WHOOSH!
or am I'm on that bobsled ride on greased rails straight to the Hell of
Old Age??


Nope they just added more layers to confuse us all, starting to sound like the government. 8)
