<br>
don't know if this is exactly about this question, but proprietary Linux<br>
kernel drivers are usually placed at:<br>
<br>
   /lib/modules/${kernel_version}/misc<br>
<br>
you already know that ${kernel_version} can be extracted using:<br>
<br>
   $(uname -r)<br>
<br>
for the running kernel version.<br>
<br>
It's advisable that after installation, one runs as root:<br>
<br>
   depmod -a<br>
<br>
to update some things in the kernel configuration (for instance, to<br>
allow modprobe ${module_name} runs properly). Usually depmod -a can be<br>
placed in the (post-)install script.<br>
<br>
Hope it helps,<br>
