Soumen, The best route forward is do install dkms and then the dkms-agrsm package. THere after, the needed new drivers will be auto-compiled, when ever there is a kernel update, if you co-install the kernel/linux-headers along with the kernel package. Usually there usage of the bulkier souce code can be avoided entirely. This is the BEAUTY of the new dkms tools. It automates updates concurrent with the installation of new kernels, without need of active User participation.
