After you built the module you could do a "make install" to place the module in your /lib/modules/... directory and thus use it as though it is in the kernel, but the kernel sources will not be modified. > I see the patch_kernel script in 1.2.23 have the deprecated state. > But when I do the patch_kernel after a make in the 1.2.23 source tree, > the files are in the kernel source tree under driver/net/wireless > including Kconfig and Makefile. > But the module wasn't built. This makes me wonder... As you note, "make patch_kernel" is deprecated. Using it has no effect. The "make patch_kernel" will only print out the message that it is deprecated and not take any further action. If you see any action taken then there is something else going on. After make in the 1.2.23 you could do "make install". You could also use the modules directly from the directory where it was built.
