Bug Description

10.04 64 bit. I'm trying to get wireless and usb working.
I tried the link to the website with the files, and got the message to use the software channel.
I installed the pre-empt version ok. Trying to install the server gave this error.(unable to install.)
I have no idea if I need 2.6.32.21 and also 2.6.32.22 and both pre-empt and server.

I have since managed to download and install the Realtek driver I needed, and I have wireless working.
Question is do I need to do anything about this? Uninstall anything?
Thanks for your help,.
