DKMS 0.34.10 is now available (tarball or RPM):

* Added the dkms_autoinstaller service (/etc/rc.d/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller). Its purpose is to automatically install modules during bootup onto kernels which do not already have that module installed for it. It only does the install, though, if AUTOINSTALL="yes" is set in that module's dkms.conf. If multiple versions of the same module exist in DKMS, the autoinstaller does not install that module and warns appropriately.

* Added the AUTOINSTALL="yes" option available in dkms.conf. See above.

* Added the --no-prepare-kernel and --no-clean-kernel cli options. These were needed to create the autoinstaller service but might be applicable in other areas. --no-prepare-kernel skips any kernel preparation before building a module whereas --no-clean-kernel does not clean the kernel after building a module.
