      Hi Guys,

      i have a big problem to install the gamecon driver on the latest version.
      At first i update the RetroPie-Setup script, then i want to install the gamecon over the driver package.
      Everytime i get some issues. I have try to install the driver manually, but dont work. On 3.8.1 everything works.

      I try different kinds to install it:

      Version 1:
      #update to the most recent version and reboot
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade
      sudo apt-get install rpi-update
      sudo reboot

      #install dkms, download headers and gamecon
      sudo apt-get install dkms
      sudo apt-get -f install
      sudo wget http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~mhiienka/Rpi/linux-headers-rpi/linux-headers-4.4.11-v7+_4.4.11-v7+-2_armhf.deb

      #install headers and gamecon (takes some time)
      sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.11-v7+_4.4.11-v7+-2_armhf.deb

        Now it works..

        via SSH:
        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
        sudo reboot

        then i update the retropie-setup script and install the gamecon driver over the menu...
