How to build and install the Vernier Software & Technology vstusb.ko driver for LabQuest and LabPro

1) Open a terminal window
2) Make sure you have the linux headers package installed (you can try step 3 first and only do this step if the make fails)
	2.1) Type: uname -r 
	2.2) the response is your kernel version
	2.3) System > Administration > Synaptic PackageManager 
	2.4) search for linux-headers-<your kernel version>  (e.g. linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic)
	2.5) Right click and Mark for installation
	2.6) Apply
3) Within the vstusb source directory (where this file is), Type: make
4) Type: sudo cp vstusb.ko /lib/modules/<your kernel version>/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/. 
5) Type: sudo /sbin/depmod -A 
6) Type: cd ..
7) Type: sudo cp etc_udev_rules.d_vstusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/. 
8) Plug in your LabQuest
9) Send an email to info@vernier.com with the new vstusb.ko file attached and tell us what kernel you built for.  

Thanks!
