dkms and kmdl are two different methods of providing kernel modules on
your system. dkms does this dynamically on the end user's system,
e.g. it ships code and your compiler builds it for any kernel you
boot. kmdls are prebuilt kernel modules that are shipped in binary
form.

Ideally both yield the same results on your system. Both have pros and
cons, and we'll hopefully get the pros together soon.

Yes, not both, they target the same kernel module, so they will both
conflict in one way or another. Just try out one method and if that
works stick to it.
