Hi Greg,
Please find my response inline-
We have a rpm which installs a linux kernel driver. Now this driver has some kernel-level dependencies especially Development Tools (kernel-headers etc) such that they depend on running kernel version.
I'd ask you first off, why is your kernel driver not merged upstream with the main kernel.org releases, to prevent any of these issues from ever happening?
Its a proprietary driver so its not meant to be the part of mainline kernel. :(
Do you have a pointer to your driver somewhere so we can look at it to determine what is needed to be done to get it merged properly?
I am sorry but I am not allowed to do that.
Then I'm not allowed to help you, and asking for help from the community seems a bit rude to the community that you are relying on for your product. Take a look at this for details: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/technical-advisory-boa... Good luck with the lawsuits, greg k-h
