I, and the other kernel developers, eagerly await your patches to the build process to solve the perceived issues you are having. Yes, building drivers outside of the kernel is hard, but 2.6 makes it easer than ever before. It's much better than 2.4 ever was. If you are still having problems that are not distro specific, and your code is open for inspection for all to help modify, please bring them up on the linux-kernel list, kernelnewbies is not the proper forum for this. thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
