Install locally-compiled kernel module

I'm trying to get a hardware driver working. Someone seems to have a kernel module project, but I have to compile it locally and install it.

I can install dependencies and `make` just fine, but installing the module complains about missing signatures.

- How much trouble am I in if I don't sign the module?
- How much trouble am I signing up for in order to sign the module?
- Will I have to re-install and/or re-sign every time there is a kernel update in my package manager? (I read about something called DKMS, but I'm not sure if that helps me.)
