Install yt6801-dkms on Omarchy
This package is a DKMS-packaged kernel module for the Motorcomm YT6801, a Gigabit PCIe Ethernet controller chip found in some laptop and desktop motherboards (including certain models this driver was added to Omarchy for). DKMS means the module is automatically rebuilt whenever your kernel updates, so wired networking keeps working across kernel upgrades without manual recompilation. It has no user interface; it just needs to be installed on a machine that actually has this specific ethernet chip.
