Manually update the
Linux
 driver

When you upgrade the kernel on your
Linux
 device, you must make sure that the device is running a driver that supports it. When a
Linux
 distribution releases a kernel update,
BlackBerry
 creates an updated
Linux
 driver package and makes it available from the management console. A driver update package is only available if there is a more up-to-date version than the one included in the agent release. 
BlackBerry
 recommends that you upgrade to agent version 3.1 or later, which enables a feature that allows the agent to automatically update the
Linux
 driver after an updated kernel is detected, as soon as it becomes available. If you are running agent versions 3.0 or 2.1.1590, or you choose not to use the Auto-Update
Linux
 Driver feature, you must manually install a supported driver for the
Linux
 kernel. You can use tools and methods from your organization to deploy the compatible drivers to your devices.
