Thanks for the answer! First, checking installed kernel headers was the first thing I tried when dkms failed. I'll try using the workaround when I get home tonight and see how it goes. I try not to use too much stuff from sid, especially on essential systems like this. However I did not understand exactly what was the problem. I assume it was something that was changed in the kernel since it was the kernel upgrade that "broke" the driver, but it might also have been something in the driver that was addressed in the kernel. What exactly happened? I'm not a driver hacker so I don't really understand what is the issue...
