The question was about how to use the nicely packaged DKMS aware driver
from frshrpms. Once you install the freshrpms RPM you get a driver that
will automatically be rebuilt when the kernel changes and will be
updated whenever freshrpms updates the package. I used the bash script
for years, freshrpms DKMS package is way, way better.
