Can confirm, here is my log:

Hey, did anyone figure out any fixes/workarounds yet?

[GeraldWodni]

It seems the linux ABI has changed in version 6.2

There must be a lot of affected modules out there. I found one that had the same error and was fixed

The patch shows, that it might not be hard to fix.

I might try and have a go at it, or do you @Kwanky-Millet want to give it a shot?

[Plippo]

What surprises me is that prepare_for_current_kernel.sh downloads the current version of the module sources that fits your kernel and patches it. As the affected code that produces this error is not part of the patch, it should match the kernel version and there should be no problem. Did you run prepare_for_current_kernel.sh? Has there been any error in the output of that script?

As @Plippo mentioned, re-running prepare_for_current_kernel.sh should pull relevant module sources and issue should be resolved. It worked for me.

@Plippo I did not know this and I simply ran the install command up until now, apologies. Everything works fine now, thanks a lot!

[GeraldWodni]

@Plippo I was using the AUR module and just assumed it would do what it should. Uninstalling the module and following your instructions after some cleanup and now it works like a charm.

Apologies for the confusion. @Kwanky-Millet thank you for pointing out that running the script fixed everything for you.
