Well, it's true one has to confirm the install by clicking an OK button, before the auto-updater starts installing anything at all, so I guess it follows that merely going online and downloading updates is harmless. I did, unfortunately, click OK to install on the first occasion, being an innocent Windoze user and totally unaware of this kind of issue.
I had hoped that DKMS would solve this for future occurrences. If not, then that is one more good argument for reverting to the default driver, I feel. I do not want to keep having to do all this, even though I can see that, once I have done it once, it will seem less daunting, and, possibly, eventually, seem no more than a trivial chore.

Morning,

So you think it's worth using the non-default driver.
I think it's worth using whatever driver works :)
That means that I must switch off auto-updates, after reinstalling the non-default driver,
No, it doesn't as I understand it. They have provided a manual solution to "fix" the driver as and when it breaks after a system update, and the updates wont install (usually) until you confirm them to in update-manager, or manually update them yourself.
and before going back online, and that I must install DKMS before switching auto-updates back on,
I'm not sure if DKMS would resolve this, it is worth having a look at the documentation for it though.
Cheers, Al.
