Hi Rowan

I live in London and think it might be time that we organised to meet
up and try sort out some of your problems.

I didn't offer hands on help the first time you asked because I know
nothing of DKMS.  I'd be willing to come around to your place and see
what we can do... either going with a vanilla install of 8.10 (or 8.04
LTS) or trying to see if we can easily fix the network driver problem
causing all the issues.

Let me know
--Michael
