Why ??

Is the same problem of fuse, in the kernel there is a very very old
version of fuse module.
The new version of fuse module overwrite the previous without problem.
My idea is to use dkms module until the new release of kernel is out
and after remove dkms package and modify spec file.

>From my point of view is better remove from kernel module which do not
have a very stable release and use dkms module instead.


Bye Bye Moreno
