Hi, > It would be useful to others if you submitted a patch with this in it.
I am happy to do this. There are already debian build targets (we build Ubuntu 10 clients). > How does this differ from this existing support? It provides are more convenient way to package the client-modules. The current debian build uses module-assistant, which produces a deb which is tied to a specific kernel version, and needs to be manually rebuilt when the kernel is changed. The dkms allows for modules for multiple kernel versions to be packaged together into a single deb. Once installed, the package contains triggers so that if a new kernel is installed for which no pre-build modules exists, dkms will automatically build and install them. The userspace packages are not affected.
