DKMS
----
DKMS, Dynamic Kernel Module Support, is a framework for building Linux
kernel modules. It is used, among others, by several distributions that
package the DAHDI kernel modules.
DKMS is designed to provide updates over drivers installed from original
kernel modules tree. Thus it installed modules into /lib/modules/updates
or /lib/modules/VERSION/updates . This is generally not an issue on
normal operation. However if you try to install DAHDI from source on
a system with DAHDI installed from DKMS this way (potentially of an
older version), be sure to remove the DKMS-installed modules from the
updates directory. If you're not sure, the following command will give
you a clue of the versions installed:
find /lib/modules -name dahdi.ko
