Looks like you are on Ubuntu 21.10 You need to install some other packages.

The excerpt below was taken from Microk8s guide https://microk8s.io/docs/troubleshooting then look out for the following

Calico controller fails on Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu 21.10

Extra kernel modules are needed on RPi after upgrading to Ubuntu 21.10. Install those with sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-raspi. You may need to restart MicroK8s afterwards.

[madalinignisca]

I would confirm on the extra modules needed. Wondering why isn't Ubuntu including them by default in the rpi4 image.

[fogost]

But I installed kernel modules before microk8s. Any other ideas?

[balchua]

@fogost did you try doing sudo snap remove microk8s --purge and then install a fresh microk8s?

[blackliner]

Ok, still required with ubuntu 22.04 on a Raspi4B. sudo apt-get -y install linux-modules-extra-raspi Calico came up right during the install of the new kernel module, now reboot or purge required 🎉
