I'm hoping someone with a bit of experinece in these things might be able to give me some pointers in creating a custom CD.
I am trying to make a build with the following patch applied to the Intel ProWireless 2200BG module:

I have downloaded and created the KNOPPIX LiveCD V3.8.1, which works nicely with my laptop with the ipw2200 card in it.
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to build the patched driver module, probably I think because you can't do that from a liveCD boot, and would need to do a full install and custom kernel build instead? Anyway, even if I could build I wouldn't be able to re-boot to the new kernel from the CD - right?
I can't do a full install of KNOPPIX on my laptop (Unfortunately I need to keep XP on it for work), which I'm thinking is the way I probably need to go. Sorry, but completely new to linux!
All I need to be able to do is load the wireless firmware and then use ethtool to write to the cards EEPROM.

Any pointers about how I should be going about this would be greatfully received. Of course, if someone could make me the CD I need, that would be great - Sorry I know that's lazy, but it really would help me out a lot.
