I mean this explanation to be helpful; plese take it with the intent provided.
... what you are trying to do is kernel development, and NOT for everybody. If you do not have the skills (not magic) "skills" then you are going to be a very frustrated camper.
The big picture is that if you have the sources for the kernel module that you want you can compile those sources if you have the kernel headers; lenny helped you with that.
Next, if you are going to plug that module(s) into the kernel , you are going to have to compile the kernel with that option available. That's the piece you have left to do; and rolling your own kernel is not a walk in the park, unless you have the skills; and no one can pass those skills to you over the forum. You may need to read a book, take a class, visit a user's group, and especially experiment with it !
But be warned, building and installing kernel modules is a cake-walk for lennyraposo, longsleep, and Xalius; but for most of the users of this forum and almost all of the users on the irc, it is outside their skill-set.
Its not magic; its a learned set of skills that require study, research and practice just like any set of skills. It is NOT a cookbook thing you do from a simple list of instructions typically. And the other thing is, if you get an error, who knows ? Debugging kernel development issues is complex, not something beginners do. I'm not saying don't try to learn it... I'm just trying to warn you that its not as simple as you are expecting it to be.
