The first one, empia-modules-source_0.020081230-0ubuntu1_all.deb, works
on Hardy; the second one, empia-modules-
source_0.020090217-0ubuntu1_all.deb works on Intrepid. These packages
use dkms to work, i.e. the first time a new kernel is booted dkms tries
to compile the modules, puts them under /lib/modules/(booted kernel
version) and removes those modules with the same name of the compiled
ones. See http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms to understand how
dkms works. Note that you need to have linux-headers installed for dkms
to work, in fact linux-headers is a dependency of dkms. Both packages
have worked on my system with the pre-packed kernels.

Hope this helps.
