insufficient for installation. In the event that an operating system is being installed with a corresponding DUD image, see,
Installing or updating the RPM driver package with KMOD support. If not, proceed with using the native device driver and then
skip to the topic Installing or Updating the RPM Driver Package With KMP Support.
