</div>Hi Mark, I get the following when trying to make install on ubuntu 10.04 (LTS)<br>
<br>
nick@dell:~/Downloads/sapphire-1.2$ sudo make install<br>
[sudo] password for nick:<br>
make kmod<br>
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/nick/Downloads/sapphire-1.2'<br>
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules<br>

<br>
<br>
Any ideas why? Do I need to install the kernel source or are the headers enough?<br>
