Sure.. Downloaded ipw3945 kmp source rpm. unrpm the downloaded source rpm file. Modified the .spec file to add a patch to apply to the source ipw3945.c file. Rebuilt the source and was good :) You can check some basic build stuff from this Novell Cool Solution: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11793.html or possibly this article: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial I created my patch file using the diff command. You can see alot of what I did at this bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330995 Where I have also provided an updated RPM with the changes I needed due to failing ipw3945 driver (connecting to open encryption AP's).
