Kurt, thanks a lot for your great help.
I will give it a try during the weekend, I have to use a customized linux kernel 
based on 3.6, so I will apply the suggested steps skipping the git to download 
official linux kernel.
I will let you know my tests results. At present time, thanks again and 
congratulation for your work.
