To build a driver from source code:

Assume that DSL-N is installed to a harddrive

Boot from the matching Knoppix CD, that would be 4.0.2 at this time.

Mount the harddrive

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

Move into the harddrive and download the source codes to it.

# cd /mnt/hda1/somedir

# ftp etc., or whatever

# unzip or whatever

# cd driverdirectory

Assuming the source codes are consistent with the kernel 2.6.12, and that they include a Makefile, just run make

# make

Then reboot to the harddisk and you have your driver waiting for you.
