Linux kernel version 4 unsupported.

Just tried building the displaylink driver using the displaylink-installer.sh on my Fedora Rawhide machine and look at the results!

./displaylink-installer.sh -?
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: -?
Distribution discovered: "Fedora release 24 (Rawhide)"
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.2.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc24.x86_64 is too old. At least 3.14 is required.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Hmm, 4 is older than 3!?!? Who Knew?!?! Need to fix the script.

    Ahoj všichni! Nedávno jsem měl dlouhou přestávku v práci a rozhodl jsem se trochu se odreagovat procházením různých webových stránek. Chtěl jsem prostě najít něco lehkého na krátký odpočinek. Při hledání jsem narazil na spingranny https://spingrannys.cz/ Nejdřív jsem se jen podíval, jaké hry tam jsou, a pak jsem spustil jeden automat. Líbilo se mi, že se vše načítalo rychle a bez zbytečných kroků. Výsledkem bylo, že přestávka byla mnohem zábavnější než obvykle.

    Ráno som omylom stúpil na svoje luxusné dioptrické okuliare a špeciálne sklá sa okamžite rozbili na tisíc malých kúskov. Bez nich som v práci úplne stratený a nové stoja strašne veľa. So silno privretými očami som si na telefóne otvoril https://roulettino.sk, aby som zabudol na ten veľký stres. Fantastická výhra mi dala dosť peňazí na to, aby som si kúpil dva nové rámy

    Hello, and please excuse me as I am not a LINUX person. Is there an older version of the DisplayLink that supports older Kernels? Right now my works RedHat supports 2.6.32-504.30.3.el6.x86_64.

    Thank You

    So I got it past that point and now it complains about no headers being found, even though I have them installed. Will work on a workaround there as well.
