How to compile kernel module for a new kernel before reboot?

[Andrew Junev]

Hello All,

I have a vt6656 WiFi adapter that needs a separate driver to work in
Linux. The driver is neither in "native" Fedora repos, nor in
rpmfusion (at least I don't know how to search for it, so I think it's
not there). 

So whenever I do a 'yum update' and get a new kernel, I have to
compile a new kernel module as well. Currently, I first reboot to a
new kernel, then compile a module and then do another reboot just to
check everything is loading properly on bootup.

How do I compile my driver for a new kernel _before_ actually booting
into that new kernel, so that I could be prepared with the new kernel
module already on first reboot?
