## Building and installing using DKMS
This tree supports Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS), a system for
generating kernel modules from out-of-tree kernel sources. It can be used to
install/uninstall kernel modules, and the module will be automatically rebuilt
from source when the kernel is upgraded (for example using your package manager).
1. Install DKMS and other required tools
```shell
$ apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
```
2. Add the driver to DKMS. This will copy the source to a system directory so
that it can used to rebuild the module on kernel upgrades.
```shell
$ dkms add .
```
3. Build and install the driver.
```shell
$ dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0
```
If you wish to uninstall the driver at a later point, use
_dkms uninstall rtl8192eu/1.0_. To completely remove the driver from DKMS use
_dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0_.
