So the ABI is about the same as a module? Like the one I had to compile (jme.ko [1]) to get the network up? [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/02/msg02240.html Still I don't understand why that kernel update couldn't trigger the recompilation of the new modules. Maybe there's a reason why they are held separately? Best regards Ramon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
