Comment 12 for bug 1023645

Yes, this would be the most straightforward solution.

However, I arranged it the other way (using dkms) to automatise the process when upgrading the kernel. Wouldn't it stop working if the Ubuntu team released, let's say, a 3.5.0-18 kernel update? Then make + make install would be necessary for every kernel upgrade.

The idea is that dkms handles the build process automatically each time you upgrade the kernel, so you don't have to worry about the module not working every time you boot after a new kernel install.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please. :)

Anyway, I'm glad you got it working!
