DKMS
Neat. Learn something every day.
And it 'just works'; just adds a short time during the bootup while the
kernel interface is automatically recompiled. I think I can remember two
updates when kernel has been updated, and I noticed during next boot
some extra work being done by dkms. But the machine then showed the
nvidia logo and the new kernel is just working.
The nvidia driver is also packaged by freshrpms.net and the
nvidia-x11-drv requires dkms {extras}, so that it's really easy to get
this installed, and for the updated nvidia driver to just work after new
kernel packages have been released {just this morning now onto nvidia's
current driver via nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9631-1.fc6, thanks Matthias}.
dkms is also used by other packages such lirc, ntfs, wireless drivers etc.
