Updating the

Linux

driver

Each supported

Linux

kernel requires a supported driver so that the

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent can run on the device. When you upgrade the

Linux

kernel on a device, you must make sure that the device is running a driver that supports it. Upgrading to the latest kernel ensures that your device receives the latest OS security updates, while using the latest agent and driver ensures that

CylancePROTECT

keeps it protected.

You have the following options to keep the

Linux

driver updated:

Scenario	Actions
Automatically update the driver as soon as an update is available when you upgrade the Linux kernel	Make sure that the devices are running agent version 3.1 or later and driver 3.1 or later. Enable the Auto-Update Linux Driver feature in the update rule.
Manually update the driver when you upgrade the Linux kernel	Each time you upgrade the Linux kernel, you need to manually download the driver package when it becomes available in the management console. To determine the minimum driver version that you need for the Linux kernel that you are using, see the Supported Linux drivers and kernels spreadsheet. You can use a package manager or similar tools and methods to update the agent and driver.  If you choose to update the agent manually, BlackBerry recommends that you change the zone-based update Agent setting to Do Not Update for these devices. The 3.1.1100 driver is compatible with agent 2.1.1590 and later. You can install the driver on devices that are running agent version 2.1.1590 and later so that you can benefit from the Auto-Update Linux Driver feature when you upgrade to agent 3.1.
