with pkgrel 2, I still get the dkms fail message similar to that posted by @jOse. need to add --force and then installs. was rel 2 meant to fix this?

Hi all, just pushed a rel-update to fix the module version override issue.
Cheers!

@christoph_heiss I found no mention at all of alx in the journal for the boot where I got the problem. But this morning I rerun the dkms install (from history, so I'm sure I used the same command), rebooted and it's working now.

@Hugo_Placer: Thanks for the report! Seems I may have fscked something up while packaging, I'll have a look and push an updated package-revision as necessary. Sorry!
@j0se: Can you provide the output of
# lspci -vvv -s <slot>
, where<slot>
is the first column of# lspci | grep Ethernet
? Also, are there any errors in kernel log (# dmesg | grep alx
)?You can also reach me via e-mail if you want, to further debug this :^)

With kernel 6.2.1-arch1-1, the network interface is even missing on
ifconfig -a

@jOse yes, is the same error :). Thankss!

I get this error:
So I installed the module with
# dkms install -m alx-wol -v 6 --force
.@Hugo_Placer maybe you got the same error? WOL is working here with linux 6.1.11.arch1-1.

In the last version of Linux kernel this patch doesn't work. "ethtool interface | grep Wake-on" doesn't show up anything. :(

Hi all, I just pushed an update, for compatibility with 6.1. Sorry for the delay.
I've updated the driver to the latest upstream and brought some quality-of-life improvements to the patch. It was indeed broken due to a change in the netif API [0].
My next steps are that I will be trying to upstream these changes again. If this is only revision-dependent, that should definitively be doable.

I previously installed on kernel 6.0 series and dkms built with no errors. then recently on kernel 6.1.arch1 dkms fails to build error message: alx-wol/5/build/main.c:755:17: error: too many arguments to function ‘netif_napi_add’
in main.c, if I edit the line : netif_napi_add(alx->dev, &np->napi, alx_poll, 64); to : netif_napi_add(alx->dev, &np->napi, alx_poll);
ie. removed the last argument ,64
then run makepkg -f --skipchecksums --skipinteg --skippgpcheck install with pacman -U, and it builds ok for kernel 6.1
but not for 6.0.12 : error message: /alx-wol/5/build/main.c:755:17: error: too few arguments to function ‘netif_napi_add’
so it looks like a change in the netif_napi_add function between kernel 6.0 and 6.1 but wol works now for me on 6.1 there is a bug here somewhere, can't explain why, I am not a programmer
