1) Deinstallation of previous streamstor package (using synaptic)

2) Installation of streamstor_9.2.1-i386.deb packages
  
  dpkg -i streamstor_9.2.1-i386.deb  

  Response:
  
  checking for linux kernel source... found at /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build
  not found
  configure: error: please install the kernel source or specify alternate location

  Solution:
  The configure script of the streamstor package by default looks for the
  kernel headers under /usr/src/linux which does not exist by default. 
  After issuing:
    ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.26-2-common/ /usr/src/linux
 
  package installation works fine.

  Installation is under /usr/local/src/streamstor

2) Flash the Amazon card with SDK 9.2

  export STREAMSTOR_BIB_PATH=/usr/local/src/streamstor/linux/bib
  cd /usr/local/src/streamstor/linux/util
  ./ssflash -u SDK9.2.ssf

  reports success:
