Yes, you need to apply each patch, using:

bzip2 -dc patch-2.5.53.bz2 | patch -p1

and you can test them first using:

bzip2 -dc patch-2.5.53.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run

Note - if 2.5.58 doesn't work, you can always download patch-2.5.58,
and apply it with:

bzip2 -dc patch-2.5.58.bz2 | patch -p1 -R

to create a 2.5.57 tree, even if you didn't go from 2.5.57 to 2.5.58
by using a patch.

Please resend according to the Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Namely, 
your Signed-off-by: line and a proper changelog are a hard pre-requisity 
to make the patch merging possible.

Kernel Patch

Dears,

I am not sure if this is the right place for asking such question. If
not, please ignore and if possible, direct me to the right place.

I am trying to rebuilt my kernel patched with the iwlwifi driver. I
downloaded the mac80211 package then I typed make. I got the following
error. Can you help me in solving this error.

Note: I am a noob.
