Fortunately for me, I've not been unlucky enough to need to port 2.4
drivers myself, so I can't tell you the exact steps. However there are
many articles and guides on the 'net that can: a google search for
"linux kernel porting driver 2.4 2.6" will suffice; just look at the
first few hits. If you need more help on Kconfig this may also help
you: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
