adding the driver module to a DKMS repository.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
constructing a DKMS Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting server message blocks (SMB) between the compile server and a client.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
creating a Samba share.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
switching between the first target OS and the second target OS.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
preparing a driver update disk image including the driver module for the first target OS and the driver module for the second target OS.
14. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed on a processor, cause a computing device to execute a process, the process comprising:
installing a host OS on a compiler server;
installing a plurality of target OS on the compile server;
installing a dynamic kernel module support package (DKMS) on the compile server for at least one of the plurality of target OS;
compiling a driver module on the compile server for a first target OS of the plurality of target OS;
compiling a driver module on the compile server for a second target OS of the plurality of OS; and
preparing a driver update disk image including the driver module for the first target OS and the driver module for the second target OS.
15. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein installing a plurality of target OS on the compile server further comprises:
installing at least one kernel.
16. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein installing a plurality of target OS on the compile server further comprises:
updating at least one errata kernel.
17. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein installing a dynamic kernel module support package (DKMS) on the compile server for at least one of the plurality of target OS further comprises:
updating at least one DKMS package.
18. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein installing a host OS on a compiler server further comprises:
creating at least one user account.
19. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein compiling a driver module on the compile server for a first target OS of the plurality of target OS further comprises:
populating a DKMS partition with the driver.
20. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein compiling a driver module on the compile server for a first target OS of the plurality of target OS further comprises:
creating a driver source directory link.
21. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein compiling a driver module on the compile server for a first target OS of the plurality of target OS further comprises:
adding the driver module to a DKMS repository.
22. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising:
constructing a DKMS Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package.
23. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising:
transmitting server message blocks (SMB) between the compile server and a client.
24. The computer readable medium of claim 23 , further comprising:
creating a Samba share.
25. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising:
switching between the first target OS and the second target OS.
26. A system for compiling device drivers, the system comprising:
means for installing a host OS on a compiler server;
means for installing a plurality of target OS on the compile server;
means for installing a dynamic kernel module support package (DKMS) on the compile server for at least one of the plurality of target OS;
