This is OMSA 4.5.

Look at Pauli Borodulin's notes on compiling OMSA drivers for his OMSA
4.4. .deb packages:
http://www.uta.fi/~pauli.borodulin/dellomsa/omsa44.html#drivers

You will need a patch or two, and enable CONFIG_REGPARM in you kernel
config.


For the Gentoo Kernel I applied:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=73357

and 

http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=73361



These patches was provided for Gentoo by Wouter Coppens, you can find
them here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113235



Best of luck!
