Author [XPOST!]Creating a kernel RPM after patching

Hi there,
with the upcoming Fedora Core 2 I will have to use the 2.6 kernel.
I use eciadsl drivers to connect to internet (I know, I should better buy
an ethernet modem) and to work with 2.6 I have to patch the kernel sources
and recompile it.
My question is this: is there a way to

- get the kernel source (via src.rpm I guess)
- patch the sources
- recompile the kernel following the STANDARD .config file
- create a redistributable RPM

Thank you so much.
