Is there a way I can compile this module for the GEODE on another

Hi folks,

It seems I'm a little out of luck :/

I downloaded the correct version kernel source, and it appears to not
contain the cp210x module at all:
[ankur at ankur aldebaran-linux-aldebaran-68edb2f]$ find . -name "*cp21*" -print
./drivers/net/irda/mcp2120-sir.c
./drivers/usb/serial/cp2101.o
./drivers/usb/serial/.cp2101.o.cmd
./drivers/usb/serial/cp2101.c
[ankur at ankur aldebaran-linux-aldebaran-68edb2f]$ pwd
/home/ankur/Documents/work/code/NAO/OS/aldebaran-linux-aldebaran-68edb2f
[ankur at ankur aldebaran-linux-aldebaran-68edb2f]$
How do I proceed? Can i take the module source from a newer kernel and
build it with this one? Or will I have to just use a newer kernel tree
altogether and replace the kernel they ship?

On a positive note, I do seem to have built the other modules correctly
(vermagic is same to the actual kernel modules now):

[ankur at ankur aldebaran-linux-aldebaran-68edb2f]$ modinfo drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
filename:       /home/ankur/Documents/work/code/NAO/OS/aldebaran-linux-aldebaran-68edb2f/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
license:        GPL
description:    USB Serial Driver core
author:         Greg Kroah-Hartman, greg at kroah.com, http://www.kroah.com/linux/
depends:
vermagic:       2.6.29.6-rt24-aldebaran-rt preempt mod_unload modversions
parm:           debug:Debug enabled or not (bool)
It misses a "GEODE" at the end though. What does that imply?

Actual kernel modules:
[root at ankur ~]# !chroot
chroot /run/media/ankur/OpenNao-system/
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
root at ankur [0] / $ modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-rt24-aldebaran-rt/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/

Thanks again,
