Hi Jeffrey, The best course of action here would be to file a bug on Ubuntu's bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux Your instinct is correct though. The most common modules that aren't built-in to the kernel (i.e., compiled as CONFIG_BLAH=y) are in the linux-modules package. There's a good chance your driver (should be) in there. The linux-modules-extras are basically "everything else". Please do file a bug on launchpad as I do think distro-related support is a little off-topic for this mailing list. - Connor _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
