Thanks. The build went OK (after I installed dkms) but the install failed because xx was in use -- see output below. Should I modify pre_install.sh and if so, how? And which commands do I then run, and in which order? Is it a case of editing dkms.conf, commenting out or removing the first 3

Guess what? An automatic Kernel update this morning (presumably to fix some other problem) wiped out all that hard work. At least I only had to re-install what I did yesterday and didn't have to rebuild it all! This is on HP Pavilion dm1 4300sa. David On 19/10/13 17:14, James Dafoe wrote:

James After a 3-hour rebuild, all is now well -- my HP Pavilion can now connect to the wifi network without constant hunting and failures. I wish I'd thought of replacing the current rt3290.bin with the one we built to solve the original problem, though; I could have saved the 3 hours because
