Hello James,

but I'm not sure what you mean about reloading?

Any time you update your sources you need to reload the package list, to
ensure you've got the most up to date list of packages. Using aptitude,

# aptitude update

Sorry if you already know this, and my initial description was poor.

If you've done that, IDK why the *-dkms packages aren't showing up.
