Comment 131 for bug 530277

the process outlined by vladimir produces a .deb file, so you don't have to compile a custom kernel, you just have to build the package from the sources given a la dkms. Look at post #116 (and switch steps 4 and 5). The process is very straightforward and simple. You can seriously just cut and paste, with sudo of course.

kudos, btw and thank you very much for the driver! Ubuntu 10.04 on Aspire One d250 and the reader works perfectly
