The ones I'm talking about - taking the case of the kernel I've mentioned as an example - are listed like this: patch-2.2.26.gz. Is this the prepatch of which you speak, or something else?

It's just taken awhile for the details of all this to sink in, so I'm doubtless repeating things. I did it mainly for the purpose of making a concise summary, in hopes that others trying to do this and searching the web for info might come across the information I've discovered and presented in the way I've presented it (as opposed to the FAQ item at linux-usb.org) and find it useful.
