Thanks for the enlightment. I manage to get the driver from the modules.gz archive and i made a new initframs using dracut --add-drivers but modprobe still cannot find it, possible that the module will indeed not work :/ The error is saying : could not insert 'rr272x_1x' : Exec format error
The driver was built incorrectly for this version of the system. Just why, I don't know. It did get put into the correct directory or modprobe/insmod wouldn't find it at all.
Did i miss something? the driver is a .ko file
Just because it's a .ko file doesn't mean it's compatible with a 4.x kernel. Odds are that it isn't. You should browse High Point's web site and see if there IS a version of that driver that's 4.x compatible. Sorry I can't be of more help.

There is two for loops (at least two that concerns me) and the code inside is never executed. Condition is : for dir in [23].*;do [ -d $dir/kernel/fs ] || continue I'm a bit lost here, what is this 23 number? it cannot be fedora number as this driver is the open source version of the fedora 17 driver. Pretty sure if i modify the condition with a correct one everything should work properly F17? Well, that's probably the issue. What you're seeing is an attempt to walk down the various /lib/modules/2.* and /lib/modules/3.* trees to install the driver. If you're on F22 or F23, you probably don't HAVE 2.* or 3.* kernel trees. You have 4.x kernel trees. You could try changing that line from: for dir in [23].*; do To: for dir in [234].*; do That would include the 4.x kernel trees. I don't know if the module will work, though as it seems to be written for quite old kernels.

Checked with lsmod driver does not appear tough the installation is finished (checked the sh file, modprobe is running at the end). After a little read of the sh file i can confirm that the driver is in /etc/rc.modules (it appears to be with sd_mod and that's all). chmod on rc.modules in the sh file is successfull (chmod 755).
