Yes, I agree I should get a much newer version, however the application vendor we are using requires the version they developed on. There IDE environment needs certain library versions. With an OS update their application does not work.
Ok, download and reading the README install instructions pointed me to the user source directory and I found the ‘generic’ kernel source. So I am using the README instructions to recompile the generic kernel. It is compiling and when done I will see if that helped and try the updated driver download.
