[Buildroot] Applying custom kernel patches

Hi

I'm having some trouble applying kernel patches.

I manually copied the kernel tar ball
into: /opt/buildroot/dl/linux-2.6.38-rc5.tar.bz2 and using "make menuconfig"
I specified the kernel version


.....however I'm having some problems applying my patches. Everything
compiles 100% if I patch "/opt/buildroot/output/toolchain/linux-2.6.38-rc5",
however I would
like it to apply my patches after extracting the tar ball from
"/opt/buildroot/dl/linux-2.6.38-rc5.tar.bz2" when I run "make"

I've tried placing my patches in:
/opt/buildroot/linux/kernel-patches/0001-linux-2.6.38-rc5.patch

I also tried putting them in
/opt/buildroot/package/linux/kernel-patches/0001-linux-2.6.38-rc5.patch

Using "make menuconfig" under specified custom patches I added:
linux/kernel-patches/0001-linux-2.6.38-rc5.patch

...but it won't apply the patch.

Any ideas?


Thanks
