I hope I didn't hurt people's feelings by sounding as if I couldn't be bothered to condescend to come to your Bug Jam. The fact is, although I am a bit reluctant to mention it, that I am semi-disabled. I mean, I can walk around like other people, but it hurts. I have sciatica. Anyway, the

Thanks but I shall wait until someone is able to reinstall the driver, install DKMS, and give the thing a general once-over, as discussed earlier. Please understand that although I appreciate the 'open source philosophy' I do NOT regard myself as competent to fix this. Matthew Daubney wrote:
