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
