Arch Linux User Repository

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

@Sid127 yeah it's installed, I don't know why it isn't working on your system. I'm on Manjaro so things are a bit different, someone using the module on Arch can help you further.

@sergio.b, I did install it, as said by dkms status alx-wol/5, 5.15.3-arch1-1, x86_64: installed (original_module exists)

and after rebooting, ethtool still says netlink error: Operation not permitted

I also have this line in my dmesg alx: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel

@Sid127 it works for me on kernel 5.15.2-2. You may have to install it on the new kernel with "sudo dkms install alx-wol/5". With "dkms status" you can check if it's installed on the kernel.

Does this not work on the latest 5.15 kernel?

@christoph_heiss I've just signed up to say thanks for adopting and updating this package.

I've upgraded from v. 5.3 on Manjaro and it works fine with kernels 5.13.13 and 5.10.61. It no longer works with 5.4.143, dkms can't install it, I don't know if that's expected but it doesn't matter to me as now I can use the newer kernels. Thanks again.

I've adopted the package, updated it to the version as of 5.13.13-arch1 and re-spun the patch, it now builds correctly again.

@jhwshin So, it turns out the times all my hunks were failing was due to a typo on my part, however even before that I was still getting errors using the AUR package and the kernel.org latest patch.

Your fork built correctly and is working perfectly now (on 5.12.15.zen1-1). It would be nice if this package were updated with your fix. Thanks!

@StarTroop I'm not sure about linux-zen, but you can try this:

https://github.com/jhwshin/alx-wol-dkms

Since your on linux-zen you may need to install linux-zen-headers

It is currently working for me on 5.12.15-arch1-1

Has anyone been able to build this on linux-zen 5.12+? All hunks are failing for me. I've tried the previous comment's patch as well as the latest patch in the kernel.org thread linked in the arch wiki (claimed to work on 5.10), but nothing gives me better results.
