To be fair, this problem would have occured to him even if he was not
intentionally trying to update his kernel. If he had done a first time
installation of the driver and livna gave him the newest driver then
the kernel update would have been non-optional.

I get this question often: Why does installing a simple driver require
a full kernel update and subsequent updates of *all* my drivers?
