Driver Installation 47
Upgrading the Kernel
If you run the up2date utility to upgrade the kernel, you must reinstall the DKMS-enabled driver
packages. Perform the following steps to update the kernel:
1
Type the following in a terminal window:
dkms build -m <module_name> -v <module version> -k <kernel version>
dkms install -m <module_name> -v <module version> -k <kernel version>
2
To check whether the driver is successfully installed in the new kernel, type:
dkms status
You must see a message similar to the following one on the screen to confirm installation:
<driver name>, <driver version>, <new kernel version>: installed
