    GREAT !!! that said after moving madwifi like you say, if I understand
    what you say, I should be allright by:

    make-kpkg --revision=t40.$SUBV --added_modules madwifi,thinkpad
    kernel_image modules_image

    (I prefer not using the implied default module list but explicitely
    listing the modules I need. of course you have guessed correctly that
    the thinkpad modules tree was already under /usr/src/modules)

    Now ... if the above is true I have a new question.

    When I compile as stated in my OP, in addition to the kernel-image deb
    package I also produce a thinkpad-modules deb which shows a filename I
    cannot understand very well.

    Here is a listing of my /usr/src directory:

    bob@t40:/usr/src$ ls -l
    total 3544
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 bob bob 332 2005-02-15 17:51 kcomp.sh

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58955 2005-01-09 12:17 thinkpad.tar.gz

    bob@t40:/usr/src$ uname -a
    Linux t40 2.6.11.4T40237392G-RJA #1 Mon Mar 28 19:36:30 CEST 2005 i686
    GNU/Linux

    I am not even sure if the thinkpad modules are contained in the
    kernel-image deb or as

    Can you make sense out of this ?

    Good night,
    Bob

    PS I was already in the src group but added the fakeroot since I got:
    You may need root privileges - some parts may fail
    message when not using it
