I can say that it's not simple. You have to do something like this:

o get cx3110x sources and unpack them

o patch cx3110x

  patch -p1 < my-patch.patch

o get kernel sources

o compile kernel

  make <nokia something>_defconfig
  make

o compile cx3110x:

  make KERNEL_SRC_DIR=../path/to/my/kernel/sources

o copy cx3110x.ko to n800/n810

o remove old driver:

  rmmod cx3110x

o load new driver:

  insmod cx3110x.ko

o initialise driver:

  chroot /mnt/initfs /sbin/wlan-cal

Now the new driver is in use. If you want to use the new driver
permantly, you have to copy it to the initfs partition.

The above instructions are from memory and I'm sure they are full of
errors. But at least you should get the basic idea.
