   After sapending yesterday constantly compiling the drivers,   
   arriving at an error, identifying a mising kernel module,   
   installing it and trying again.   
      
   Eventually I arrived at it913x which doesn't erxist in the 6.8   
   series kernels and cannot be created without source and makefile.   
      
   ChatGPT reckons I should go to a 5.15 kernel but tha is not   
   available in Mint 22.1 so it looks like I will have to drop   
   back to 21.3 or eatlier.   
      
   I will have to do a bit of research before I jump.
