I have a PCI card:

It is aT1/E1 WAN card originally manufactured by SBEI.
I want to use this card with fedora/rhel/centos, but the
provided kernel rpm does not have the required kernel
modules included.
I need from drivers/net/wan/*, hdlc, dlci, fr, syncppp, and
either the lmc drivers included or the out-of-tree sbc
driver (source code is marked GPL).
My preferred plan is to build a kmod or kmdl rpm(s) that
includes all the necessary modules. I realize that I'll have
to rebuild new rpm(s) for this card whenever new kernels
are released, but I think that's not too bad.
Is there a HOWTO that tells me how to build such a thing?
I don't have quite enough info from the things I've uncovered
so far:
<http://driverupdateprogram.com/>
<http://www.kerneldrivers.org/RedHatKernelModulePackages>
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Obsolete/KernelModules>
An alternate plan is to modify the kernel source rpm's .config
and recompile the entire kernel rpm. But I'd like to keep these
additional modules separate until/unless they are included
by redhat/fedora automatically. (BTW, how does one
go about requesting that sort of thing? These drivers have
been in the kernel sources for a long time; I think they're
stable.)
I have found a similar thread here:

but it is 3 years old and I saw no replies.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
