It depends if it is a module or internal patches. If it is a patch, yes you will have
to recompile.
If it is a module, it should be compilable by itself and produce a module having a
name like "new_module.o".
Put this module under /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/net
Then put this line in /etc/conf.modules
>alias eth0 new_module.o
then do :
>depmod -a
and try a
> modprobe new_module.o
Hope this helps,
Philippe
