Hello Ted,
I assume you are searching for help with a (possibly proprietary) driver
that is meant to be built outside the kernel tree. I dealt with such
things before I started to use buildroot.
Assuming that this driver comes with a Makefile I suggest to make a new
buildroot package on top of the driver's makefile. There is good
documentation for this in the buildroot manual.
If the driver is GPL another option might be to integrate it into your
kernel source and make a kernel patch out of it. But beware: Doing such
with a proprietary driver will brake the kernel license.
Hope this helps
Stephan
