The clean way is make deb-pkg from the root of the kernel tree. It will

The fastest way is to simply make, then copy the changed modules into

a debian point of view, it is very dirty.
Yeah, I guess I prefer the very quick and dirty way. I added them to
/lib/modules/.../updates/ and
ran depmod. Good enough for me. As long as I don't dig too deep in b43 I
probably won't need to do
full kernel builds.
My biggest concern right now is that the modules I build cannot be rmmod-ed
after being inserted.
This happens with any custom built modules, including the dkms built ones (eg.
nvidia).
I really suggest you once try building the whole kernel with deb-pkg, then touch a single file in
b43, then rebuild. The overhead of producing .deb files is not null, but not big enough to stop me
from rebuilding on every try. And I assume it would solve this module unload issue.
Nicolas.
