   I get something like "site temporarily unavailable".   
      
   As for a history of having trouble. You are correct.   
      
   So does everyone else that has to rebuild the drivers every time a new   
   kernel is released that is incompatible with the build scripts.   
      
   So far TurboSoft have written to me with advice that hasn't worked.   
      
   I installed yet another kernel today (6.0.8-84-generic) and ran the   
   process again but without success. It built fine under Mint 19.3 (5.15   
   series kernels) but not now on Mint 22.   
      
   The problems I had in March were probably on my last main machine that   
   died completely. I don't know which version of Mint it had been running.   
      
   The machine I am testing on now has been completely rebuilt following a   
   catestrophic disaster in May.   
      
   The HTPC's hardware is unchanged and its hard drive showed no faults,   
   but it gradually declined and refused to boot.   
      
   I backed off important files and made a clean installation.   
   By mistake I put 19.3 on it.   
      
   That was fine except that the version of MythTV I installed on it   
   (from its repo) was version 32, whereas the remote machines needing   
   access its database had Mint 22.1 with MythTV V.34.   
      
   So I made a fresh reinstallation of Mint 22.1 on it, leading to this   
   impass.   
      
   I am confident that TurboSoft will come up with a solution...   
   eventually.
