Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) is a framework used to generate Linux kernel modules whose sources do not generally reside in the Linux kernel source tree. DKMS enables kernel device drivers to be automatically rebuilt when a new kernel is installed.
An essential feature of DKMS is that it automatically recompiles all DKMS modules if a new kernel version is installed. This allows drivers and devices outside of the mainline kernel to continue working after a Linux kernel upgrade.
Another benefit of DKMS is that it allows one to install a new driver on an existing system, running an arbitrary kernel version, without any need for manual compilation or precompiled packages provided by the vendor.
DKMS was written by the Linux Engineering Team at Dell in 2003. It is included in many distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, SuSE and CentOS. DKMS is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2 or later.
DKMS supports both the RPM and DEB package formats out-of-the-box.

Integration and Digest::MD5 Perl module
The Digest::MD5 Perl module is no longer bundled with the cPanel and WHM application suite. Existing applications and cPAddons that rely upon this Perl module being provided by cPanel will not function properly after upgrading to cPanel™ 11.25.0.
Developers can address this change in one of two ways:
1. Use the md5_fallback.pm functionality provided in the OSCommerce cPAddon.
2. Bundle the Digest::Perl::MD5 Perl module with their application.
Cant see the Statistics module icon in the regular account editor.
For Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder for Linux/Unix
All modules icons are there except the statistics. What should I do to be able to access it?
Login to Sitebuilder Control Panel as admin and go to the Modules -> Statistics page.
To activate statistics reporting select check box Enable statistics located in the bottom left corner of the Statistics module screen.
Also, this module is available only for regular sites. It should be accessible in the left column at the Extra step. We need to add this module into an appropriate plan in the Plan Management section.
