 you'd take the instructions (for any OS you choose - angstrom,
ubuntu, debian, android - off the hacking mele a1000 wiki page) and
when it comes to the kernel compile, just put the source code driver
into the kernel tree before compiling, and then just carry on
building.

 by the end of the chosen OS build you'll have what you need.

 very very straightforward.
