After dealing with various fedora systems where someone gets a kernel
update and things not working because an extra drvier wasnt ready.. I
am all for the dkms solution as a system administrator. Yes it takes
more stuff on a client system, but for my workloads.. it has worked
out a better solution for my fedora and enterprise systems.
