kernel-headers

[Darren Critchley]

Before I post this to bugzilla, I thought I would enquire first about it.

I am currently running the 2.6.8.1-686 Kernel on my thinkpad.
Last night I needed to compiled  kernel module, so I went looking for 
the kernel-headers, I clicked on the kernel-headers-686 and it selected 
a few other packages for me, and added them to my system.
However. the headers downloaded are actually 2.6.7.1-686 and I cannot 
compile against them (or when I do, the module won't install on the 
current kernel). Is this just a matter of the dev team not having the 
time to catch up with the release this week?

In the end I downloaded the linux-source for 2.6.8.1-686 and copied the 
config file from the boot directory and ran make.
That allowed me to compile my module (acx100 driver) which works wonderful.

I suppose I should mention that the acx100 module that comes with Ubuntu 
does not allow the signal strength to be properly represented, it always 
shows 100%. Should this be reported to bugzilla, or left as most likely 
the module will be updated in the next release?
