Ok, it's becoming a little clearer now. Is the appropriate procedure something like this? git clone git://github.com/mcgrof/compat.git git clone git://github.com/mcgrof/compat-wireless.git cd compat-wireless git checkout linux-3.0.y GIT_COMPAT_TREE=$(pwd)/compat/ NEXT_TREE=/path/to/src/linux GIT_TREE=/path/to/linux/repo export GIT_TREE GIT_COMPAT_TREE scripts/gen-stable-release.sh <some appropriate arguments> And then this will not generate a list of patches but just a patched source code tree with appropriate #ifdefs to make the code build against old kernels.
