The joys of relying on binary modules.
I'm overwhelmed by the sense of irony by someone working for a company
selling a security related product recommending use of a kernel with
known security bugs.

Cluebat Apani.  As their driver isn't easily downloadable, you're
pretty much stuck until either they fix it, or someone in a similar
situation to yourself fixes it. If you're lucky it will be just
a few struct member name changes, but if you're unlucky, you're
entirely at the whim of Apani.
