## Installation
There are 3 ways to install this DKMS module. Choose one as your tastes.
Those are not interfering with each other. So you can do all 3 methods but absolutely you don't need to.
Installation using the Debian package is recommended for the sake of getting the newer driver.
### Debian package
#### Released package file
Download the latest Debian package from the Release tab on the Github repository.
Then enter the following command.
```bash
sudo dpkg -i realtek-r8152-dkms-2.19.2-1*.deb
```
> If multiple files selected by the wild card, you should type the specific version of the file.
>
> ```bash
> sudo dpkg -i realtek-r8152-dkms*.deb
> ```
If dependency error occurs, try to fix that with `apt` command.
```bash
sudo apt install --fix-broken
```
#### Launchpad PPA (Recommended)
Add the Launchpad PPA.
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awesometic/ppa
```
Then install the package using `apt` tool.
```bash
sudo apt install realtek-r8152-dkms
```
### autorun.sh
Using the `autorun.sh` script that Realtek provides on their original driver package. This is **not installed as a DKMS**, only efforts to the current kernel.
Download or clone this repository and move to the extracted directory, then run the script.
```bash
sudo ./autorun.sh
```
### dkms-install.sh
This script is from aircrack-ng team. You can install the DKMS module by a simple command.
Download or clone this repository and move to the extracted directory, then run the script.
```bash
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
```
## Debian package build
You can build yourself this after installing some dependencies including `dkms`.
