@tobiasBora:  DKMS builds kernel module for a particular kernel version. So
if you upgrade your kernel version it wont support that module and you will
have to build it again. DKMS basically duplicate tree, , outside of the
kernel source, that holds the source and compiled binaries for a particular
module.

So if you have built a kernel module  with a `$ make`command, thats
probably the best way.

  The driver seems to be present in machines with pre-installed OS, but
  isn't available on the download-and-install versions!
