I used the media_build script to build modules for the Scientific Linux
6 distro which is, I understand, one of the near-clones of RHEL 6, which
are expected to have a working life of several years. My kernel
version, with security updates, is currently 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.i686
The build needed utilities that I did not have installed; the script
provided their names but apologised for its inability to identify the
packages that would provide them because it did not recognise the
distro. This list is in response to its invitation to submit details.
Utility: lsdiff
Package name: patchutils
Repo: SL6
Utility: Digest::SHA
Package name: perl-Digest-SHA
Repo: SL6 security updates
Utility: Proc::ProcessTable
Package name: perl-Proc-ProcessTable
Repo: SL6 epel
After installing these, and the kernel-devel package, the build
completed and I have been able to bring into service a usb device that
had resisted my earlier efforts on the nominally more up-to-date Fedora
14. dmesg identifies it as a 'KWorld UB499-2T T09(IT9137)' and some
characteristics that I see are not mentioned on its wiki page. I'll
report on that separately, but there's a narrative account here:

Thanks!
