But it won't even install because the kernel version<> module version. Which was the point to my previous question about why a driver cannot be used with a newer kernel version. The 2.6 kernel is still the 2.6 kernel even if it has .3-5 or .3-55 at the end. If someone writes a driver for the 2.6 kernel it should work no matter what revision level the kernel goes to. But then I am not a programmer only a frustrated user.
You can imagine that there is a differce between .3-5 and .3-55. so it could well be that the changes are on that part that the driver needs. As far as I understand, only those drivers are affected that are actually affected, but then I am also just a user. Never had to change anything in my kernel.
