Martin, RE: > 3) As near as I can tell, I have dkms installed, so do I need to run ./setup? --------- Yes, if you don't use the Debian installer version. ./setup merely calls 3 lines informing dkms that the source package is being copied to /usr/src/agrsm-2.1.80-7mdv2009.0 and thus registers it with the dkms resources. It should not be necessary to run again. Read setup, it is obvious.
