From what I've read, DKMS will compile the driver after a new kernel is installed if

At boot time DKMS will run and check if the source modules it has been told to build

if not it will undertake those actions.
The situation that prompted this mail was where to test the auto
build functionality in DKMS I forced the boot time building.
I've checked the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms script and I'm not sure its working
properly (I will need to check what the autoinstaller is doing). It seems to me that the
autoinstaller is being run against the kernel identified by $kern_inst, which without
knowing what Fedora is doing, I would have assumed is set to the name of the running
kernel, which if I am correct it seems that DKMS is building the specified module
against the newly installed kernel headers and installing into the new kernel (this is
if the make parameter that identifies the kernel version to build against is specified,
which in my case is specified in dkms.conf).
You may want to try adding....
Before=network.target
Wants=network.target
To the Unit portion of the dkms.service file.
Thanks Ed, I can try that.
What I am trying to understand is, given that from the documentation,
the message reached Networkmanager-wait-online target means that all
network devices are up and have an IP address, how can the wait-online
process be satisfied, given its definition, if the only network device
Networkmanager has been told it can use is still having its driver built
and deployed to the kernel, plus at the moment the interface on the
device it has been told to use is still not available at boot time until
the desktop (KDE or GNOME) actually starts.
As a side issue to this, I have also compiled the driver through DKMS in
Ubuntu, and I think the device is not available there at boot time until
the display manager starts (in Fedora it is still not available at
Display Manager time, the desktop has to be started from the Display
Manager before it becomes available), but it is a bit hard to tell at
the moment if it is available during boot because the Ubuntu boot
process is significantly quicker than in Fedora, but it is still slower
than windows startups (which are really hibernation starts).
Also I don't have the same mount specifications in /etc/fstab under
Ubuntu that I do under Fedora. For example, to mount the Ubuntu
partitions I have to have entries in /etc/fstab, but under Ubuntu I
don't have to put entries in /etc/fstab to mount the Fedora partitions,
they are mounted automatically to /media/$my-userid (I'm using
$my-userid to indicate that directory is name according to the logged in
User). What I have checked yet is whether that auto-mount process is
mounting the nfs and cifs interfaces on the network device).
regards,
Steve
