Hi Ralph When checking out the solution you suggested I discovered that I had downloaded the wrong source zip file (too many files with similar names) once I had got the correct one the modules compiled and installed OK. Thanks again for your help.
I now have a new problem concerning DKMS. I have just done a kernel update to 3.0.0.15 but DKMS did not install the modules as it should have done. I have checked and all the correct files are available in the correct directories but the modules are not in the kernel as shown by lsmod. I have used the "dkms remove" command to remove them and this reported that they were active. I then went through the process of adding, building and installing them again using DKMS but they are still not loaded. When I check the "dkms status" it returns WARNING! Diff between built and installed module! and I get this for all 453 modules (the drivers are for a USB DVB-S2 box). A strange thing is that according to Dell's manual DKMS should create a directory /var/dkms/(module_name)/(version_number) at the build stage and this should contain sub-directories for logs and the binary files but it doesn't exist. Any ideas?
