@mmoya You're right, it appears the Makefile handles itself. My bad, thank you for updating the package.

Hi HurricanePootis

I'm unable to reproduce the issue of the module building for just the installed kernel. I always have at least two kernel installed: an LTS and a non-LTS version. Each installation of this package triggers a build for each installed kernel, not the current one running.

I've tested now before pushing the new version. My system has dkms-3.1.6-1, linux-6.13.8.arch1-1 and linux-lts-6.12.20-1 and I got a module built for each version.

Can you provide more information like installed kernel and dkms version plus the exact command that triggers the issue?

Thanks.

Patch for 3.5.0

@HurricanePootis

I'll test your patch and integrate it with the new release. As of 2025-03-10 the upstream version is still 3.4.0, the package is not out-of-date. I'd removed the flag.

I am proposing the following change. Currently, whenever dkms calls the archive's Makefile, KDIR is defined as the following:

KDIR    := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

This means if you have multiple kernels installed, it's going to build only for the current kernel. This change should fix by just building the module directly with the same settings as the Makefile. This also avoids compiling the tools.

Edit: Also, please make the license() SPDX compliant:

@swkt1999 you're having this issue since v3.3.0 isn't available by the upstream link anymore. @mmoya has to upgrade the package to v3.4.0. You can wait for this, or to get the v3.3.0 archive you can (I uploaded it just now):

curl http://0x0.st/X783.txt | base64 --decode > asix_usb_nic_linux_driver_v3.3.0.tar.bz2

please use ${srcdir}/ instead of ../, for users who set BUILDDIR in makepkg.conf

Perfect, already adopted the other one. I'm AFK these days, will start working on the merge on next month.
