Just a quick DKMS add, was sick to death of rebuilding between kernel upgrades.

Tested on Arch for multiple kernel upgrades, has install scripts, reference to specific DKMS instructions in the README_DKMS.md, install with ./install.sh

Not much effort put in here but it might help people out who are sick of rebuilding. Thanks for developing this project!

Looks like you may not have run the DKMS install script post build ./install.sh?

Not sure whether you pulled the PR to the current active branch or copied my repo here but I'm running CachyOS and the same DKMS script has been working fine for months, running on the same kernel as you so I'd say its potentially something simple.

Thanks, I got it working.

Seems everything fine once kernel upgraded to 6.18.22.1 and working great still with kernel 7.0.0.1.
