Let me know when it is patched and ready to test.
Yes the 4.9 kernel might have a problem. It would be great if you could test it as-is without the patch (304.134-1), and then if the kernel module does not load then we know we have to patch it (less churn this way). Thanks! Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
