I've done some more digging. From the README file in :/var/lib/dkms/agrsm/2.1.80-4mdv2009.0/build$ is the following: "Please note that this version of the driver is intended to work Red Flag NE 5.0 having Linux kernel version 2.6.21.0-22" My kernel version is version 2.6.24-16-generic. Do you agree that this is probably the problem and if so, where would I find the correct package?
