Building a kernel from Buffalos source

How to build a kernel from Buffalos source

This is an ongoing task. I will report my success as a step-by-step guide to build a kernel from the GPL sources Buffalo provided here http://opensource.buffalo.jp/gpl_storage.html .

2009.12.30: Succeeded to build the kernel using this .config http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/config.gz.

I had to edit some files, because the original source from buffalo was not error free (to be gentle).

Missing includes solved by correct forward declaration

Noone should ignore warnings like the ones one get compiling the Buffalo source (even not Buffalo itself).

 void kernevnt_RadiScan(int devno, int on);
 #endif
