modprobe error #123

Closed pypaut closed 2 years ago

pypaut commented 2 years ago

The build and installation process is silky smooth, but running modprobe 88x2bu or modprobe --force 88x2bu gives me error modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Exec format error.

Tried both methods from the readme file and reboot. I use a TP LINK Archer adapter which is recognized under Windows 10.

Thanks for your work, and thanks by advance if you read this.

Hi, can you check if your running kernel version is the same as kernel header version? Also run dmesg may give you some information.

Hello, I have since yesterday made a full reinstall of my OS, and cannot check the said error. I have another bug however trying to compile it, maybe I should open another issue instead of keeping this one?

RinCat commented 2 years ago

You can keep use this one.

Thank you!

Here is what I get after running make -j4:

Skipping BTF generation for /home/pypaut/Downloads/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver/88x2bu.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.8-76051508-generic'

I read here that it might be caused by the vmlinux file not being where it used to?

RinCat commented 2 years ago

You can ignore "Skipping BTF generation" since that is for debug.

Okay my bad.

All errors are gone now and my adapter works <3

Thanks again for your work and your reactivity!
