Dell DKMS, v.2.0.5, A18
AUTO INSTALLED This file was automatically installed as part of a recent update. If you are experiencing any issues, you can manually download and reinstall.DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device driver source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases (as a stopgap before the code can make it back into the kernel), while also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing code.

Fixes & Enhancements
Kernel preparation is no longer required for SuSE 2.6 kernels. You can also now specify a MAKE_MATCH[0] directive for your kernel modules to let DKMS decide whether to use your MAKE[0] command to build the module or the kernel's default MAKE command. Also, Red Hat driver disks made by DKMS can now include the files modules.pcimap and pci.ids.
