The newly created directory 2.2.13 will contain:
readme-2.2.13.ftp -
A listing of the driver version
versus patch number.
script-2.2.13 -
A shell script that can be executed to
apply the patches in the correct order.
files in the format (all on one line) -
patch-ncr53C8xx-
s
These files are generated with
diff -u
and compressed
using
gzip
.Typically, all patches are applied in order
beginning with the lowest set and patch number. Some
patches have an additional extension of dri or sys to
indicate that they are patches to the driver files or the
system files. Patches with the same set and patch number
but different extension (dri or sys) may be applied in any
order.

Apply the driver patches by editing the script file and
replace
patches. Type each command all on one line. For example,
if the full path to your patches is:
/home/myself/kernelpatches/2.2.13
then the script becomes:
echo "Patching ncr53c8xx/sym53c8xx to versions
3.3b and 1.6b - kernel 2.2.13"
cd /usr/src
ln -s /home/myself/kernelpatches/2.2.13 source
gzip -d
