## Manual DKMS installation
## Using DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support)
Allows smooth integration with kernel updates
### Initial DKMS installation
```
git clone "https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver.git" /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git
sed -i 's/PACKAGE_VERSION="@PKGVER@"/PACKAGE_VERSION="git"/g' /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git/dkms.conf
dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v git
dkms autoinstall
```
### Upgrading the driver, when already under DKMS
```
cd /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git
git fetch
git rebase origin/master --autostash
dkms build rtl88x2bu/git --force
dkms install rtl88x2bu/git --force
```
# USB 3.0 Support
You can try use `modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1` to force the adapter run under USB 3.0. But if your adapter/port/motherboard not support it, the driver will be in restart loop. Remove the parameter and reload the driver to restore. Alternatively, `modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=2` let\'s it run as USB 2 device.
