You're most welcome James.  I'm glad the patch did help.

Let's hope the maintainers will soonish correct that dkms bug so that
noone else will have to experience the problems you did.
Unfortunately, things are moving slowly out there :(  And judging from
what `apt-get policy dkms' shows, both testing and unstable seem
affected.
