[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: bbswitch-dkms
Version: 0.6-2
Severity: normal


I cannot seem to modprobe the bbswitch kernel module:

$ sudo modprobe -v bbswitch
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/updates/dkms/bbswitch.ko 
FATAL: Error inserting bbswitch (/lib/modules/3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/updates/dkms/bbswitch.ko): No such device

System is:
