Im sorry, i looked closely at the packages and i see
now that theres a new version of the driver package to
go with the new kernel. I would have expected that
there would be some kind of automatic update, or some
way of letting me know that when i upgraded the kernel
i needed to upgrade the driver package as well.
Anyway i just installed the new version of the driver,
that goes with the -5 kernel, and its working fine.
Thank you for putting up with this newbie!
