Exactly what I've been looking for! Excellent. Just compiled on 2.04 w/ 5.13 kernel. This will allow me to do some upgrades I've been wanting to do.

I may have missed this, but after looking closer I notice with the 5.13.0.35 Kernel I'm getting the following result when running make. This is on 20.04 w/ HWE kernel.

If I try to insmod the .ko file I end up with this,

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module bladeRF_mac80211_hwsim.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Doing some searching to see how to get around the initial issue.

The following occurs while trying to build against the kernel mentioned on a Pi4

Commenting out the few lines starting at 3539 allow it to compile.

Commented out the lines starting at 3539, compiles afterwards.
