I tried to build a new kernel using compile.sh with the following page.

http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/

It's work fine.

So i changed ./sources/linux-sun8i/sun8i/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800.h & rt2800lib.c to use usb wifi of RT3070,
and I carried out compile.sh again.
But The source I corrected was overwritten in script.

How does my correction become effective?

You have to edit compile.sh.

FORCE_CHECKOUT="no"
set to "yes" to force overwrite any changed or manually patched kernel, u-boot and other sources
set to "no" to keep all changes to sources

Thank you for your comment.
I tried, but it was the following error.

[ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ common.sh:176 ]
[ error ] Kernel was not built [ @host ]
[ o.k. ] Process terminated #

Perhaps I think this is the cause.

I wait for 4.6.1.

Have you tried it with FORCE_CHECKOUT="yes" ? When this compiles ok, then you should test it with FORCE_CHECKOUT="no" without changing the source.

Mainline kernel is not fully ready for H3 based boards so pointless to compile this.
