Nope, it is possible, but thanks to ulf more difficult than necessary. First you should edit buildroot/toolchain/kernel-headers/Config.in and remove that "!BR2_avr32 &&" on the kernelversion you want to build. Afterwards fetch the correct patchfile from www.avr32linux.org and save it in the same dir buildroot/toolchain/kernel-headers under a name like linux-2.6.18-avr32.patch afterwards it should do, what you expect. I hope I didn't forget anything. best regards Benjamin
