I don't know the answer to your questions, but it turns out we don't provide kldxref yet. Untill we do it's out of the question to rely on it :-) I'm making a bug out of this so that it's not forgotten. Btw, my port of DKMS also assumes that modules may only be installed in the top directory in /lib/modules/$KVER/ (which is true currently). -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
