Hi Luis,

This depends a lot on which driver you need, but it's probably not so
easy to do. Some of the internal kernel interfaces change between
kernel versions and the 2.0n is running on a fairly old (2.6.21.7)
kernel, so there are probably a lot of ways in which the driver needs to
be modified to work with the 2.6.21.7 kernel.

Having said that, the basic idea is that your let the Fon build system
prepare a kernel source tree for you, then use quilt to make the needed
changes and then have quilt generated the resulting patch file for you.
Here's the relevant OpenWRT documentation:

        http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/patches


Making the actual changes is probably best done in two stages: First,
copy the driver files from the upstream kernel over the old driver files
(don't forget to quilt add beforehand) and generate a patch from that.
Then, create a new patch and make the changes needed to make the new
driver compile and work.

I'll stress again: This is not something you'll want to do if things
like compilers, patches and C code are scary for you...

Perhaps you can use some specific APN, like "internet" or something?
