It was not intended as general statement - I just forgot the "for me".
Otherwise I would have filed a more detailed bug report.  I was hoping
for the docs first ...

The bug report was just about the misleading hint to the doc - if this
is fixed I'm fine.
 
However, if it is helpful I might switch back and try again (but not
before the weekend).  It might even be that the *installation* itself
was working - the kernel module just did not loaded.  I had some strange
dmesg output after modprobe-ing it which said I migh thave loaded
another module (which was actually not the case).

If you would tell me precisely what I should try to give the most
helpful information (removing / purging what package(s) and reinstalling
which ones) I'm willing to do the debugging work.

Kind regards and thanks for your support

    Andreas.
