[Buildroot] Moving from 2.6.36.1 to 2.6.35.11 (or perhaps 2.6.35.9)

My group desires to use the 2.6.35.11 kernel as it is listed as a longterm
stable kernel instead of the 2.6.36.1 buildroot currently supports <sigh>.

In looking at at buildroot, it appears that changine
buildroot-2010.11/.config BR2_DEFAULT_KERNEL_HEADERS *and* linux/Config.in
(3 places) would do it to change to an arbitrary kernel version.

Is this the correct procedure to change these two files? I can make it work
with 2.6.35.9, but it seems that kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ contains
up to 2.6.35.9 but not 2.6.35.10 or 2.6.35.11 so 2.6.35.9 works but
2.6.35.11 fails.

Perhaps a FAQ entry regarding the changes necessary to move to various
kernels might be appropriate? I would offer to do it but I am (perhaps) two
days into using buildroot and I dont want to fubar the web site
instructions.
