    Matt again thank you but I am afraid I am not explaining the problem.

    Let me try to recap:

    I now have

    /usr/src/modules/madwifi
    /usr/src/modules/thinkpad
    /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4

    I am compiling with:

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

    At the end, without any errors I get:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 bob bob 3517998 2005-03-31 21:58
    kernel-image-2.6.11.4_t40.200503312147_i386.deb
    -rw-r--r-- 1 bob bob 20698 2005-03-31 21:58
    thinkpad-modules-2.6.9.rja_5.8-1+t40.200412221617_i386.deb

    Now please note:

    a) no madwifiXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.deb
    b) thinkpad-modules is produced exactly after the kernel-image (see file
    timestamp not filename) but has a WRONG name and damned me I cannot
    understand where it takes that name from. I do NOT have any trace of a
    2.6.9 kernel on my machine :( :(

    Hope you will come up with some bright insight :)

    'night
    Bob
