[Openembedded-users] Stop Binary Stripping

Hello,

I'm writing a recipe to compile and install a device driver for my OE build. 
The recipe completes successfully, but the driver module will not insert 
into the kernel because it has been stripped.

To try to stop this, I've added the INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1" modifier to 
my recipe file, but it seems to have no effect.

Within my working directory, the driver compiles to:
image/lib/modules/2.6.34/kernel/drivers/camera/v4l2_driver.ko and is 1.4MB

but when packaged is:
package/lib/modules/2.6.34/kernel/drivers/camera/v4l2_driver.ko and is 
134.4KB.

How can I stop bitbake stripping this one file?

Thanks for any help,
Regards
Rob Smith
