Thanks for pointing it out! I'll try to update my system sometime today. One question- it doesn't seem to have the kernel-syms package. I need this to compile some custom kernel modules for my hardware. Where can I find it?
Just curious, what kernel modules do you need for your hardware that are not already included in the main kernel tree?
thanks,

These are National Instruments' NI-KAL drivers and they're proprietary drivers. I know such stuff won't sit well with a lot of kernel developers...here and elsewhere too. The interesting part is that NI-KAL (Kernel Abstraction Layer) drivers are not GPL, but the source is available after untarring the archives during install. They're more like "glue" drivers to bind the kernel to the higher level drivers. Its the NI-VISA, GPIB and DAQ drivers that are closed-source and proprietary. These drivers are installed on top of the "glue" NI-KAL drivers. More information at :- http://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/linux-users which is the Linux Users Community for NI.
