I believe a DKMS package can be set up for different module sources
depending on the kernel version it is being built against (using
patches). Does this help you?
** Description changed:
-
Package ist really outdated for kernel 3.5.0 (lts backport to precise)
Modules not build: vmxnet vmhgfs vmblock
See build log.
+
+ Incomplete workaround:
+
+ This bug affects those on a hardware enablement stack only, which is the
+ default option on the 12.04.2 images. If do not need the hardware
+ enablement stack, you may downgrade to the 3.2 kernel supplied with
+ 12.04 and 12.04.1, and then the package should build successfully.
+
+ See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack of details of the
+ hardware enablement stacks.
