dkms = Dynamic Kernel Module Support

DESCRIPTION
  dkms is a framework which allows kernel modules to be dynamically built
  for each kernel on your system in a simplified and organized fashion.



I tested on one my servers and it didn't work either. The trick is that 
kernel-devel package needs to match the running kernel. If you upgrade 
your kernel packages, you need to reboot before dkms will work.
