Go find the Kernel Building HOWTO. You want to build a kernel module, and
then have the kernel load it -- probably at boot time.

"ko" is "kernel object". You know how, if you compile a regular type
program, the compiler output is an object file named somename.o? Same
thing, except it's for the kernel.

As for being "explicit in detail", you might find you get better/more
help, on any forum or mailing list, if it doesn't appear as if you're
asking someone to pick up a spoon and feed you.
