Oh, almost forgot...
I'm assuming that you would compile the USB serial drivers as loadable
modules (as opposed to compiling them into the kernel itself). After
you recompile the kernel you need to copy the modules onto your board.
The new modules will appear as .o files in the same directory as the
sources you copied in (drivers/usb/serial).
Copy those object files into the lib modules directory on your board,
overwriting the old files that are there:
/lib/modules/2.4.26-ts11/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
