Does not compile on kernel >=5.15-rc1

[All3xJ]

I downloaded huawei-wmi-3.4-source-only.dkms.tar.gz release and then

sudo dkms ldtarball --archive=huawei-wmi-3.4-source-only.dkms.tar.gz
sudo dkms autoinstall -m huawei-wmi/3.4 # fails

In the logs cat /var/lib/dkms/rtl88x2bu/5.6.1/build/make.log:

/usr/src/rtl88x2bu-5.6.1/core/rtw_br_ext.c:20:18: fatal error: net/ipx.h: No such file or directory
   20 |         #include <net/ipx.h>
      |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~

This is due to kernel commit 6c9b40844751 ("net: Remove net/ipx.h and uapi/linux/ipx.h header files"), merged in v5.15-rc1

Just to clarify: am I right seeing you posting about rtl88x2bu build errors on the huawei-wmi repo?

Anyway, let's see (man dkms):

ACTIONS
       ...

       autoinstall

           Attempt to install the latest revision of  all  modules  that  have
           been installed for other kernel revisions. ...

to install ... all modules

See?

You're supposed to use plain install command (or rather not complain about other modules' build failures on a batch build).

P.S. Yes, the comments in the readme section are incorrect too, but it's always a good thing to be observant and critical nonetheless. You have missed both noticing the wrong dkms module in the output and reading the man first, which helps in most cases. This could've been a nice doc-fixing PR instead then :)

No offense tho, this is a fine issue otherwise — just belonging elsewhere but here. (And please, remember to strip out the huawei-wmi mentions when you post it to the right place!)
