Hi everyone,
I get this following error when i update my kernel.
I’m thinking this is somewhat related to my brostrend adapter I no longer use.
Anyone have any info?
Thanks.
This is coming from something you are doing with dkms.
If, as you hint, it is left over from your “brostrend adapter” that you no long use, then you can remove dkms.
You might need to clean up some files if there are still errors.
I suppose I should include a copy of the make.log, Something i omitted.

Looks like the driver you are building has not been updated to support the current Fedora kernel.
You will need to report this to the maintainer of that driver.
Until they fix it you will need to keep using an older working kernel.
Is the kernel change for the new Realtek you have or the previous Brostrend?
I imagine so.
I just deleted the file in question from DKMS “rtl88x2bu” and nothing broke so far. (I kept a saved version just in case).
It’s probable that this will fix it. Will just have to wait and see for the next kernel update.
If nothing needs dkms then you can simplify your system by removing it.
Yeah as far as i’m aware nothing else uses it.
I think it was kept for that one driver that has been giving me an error for a bit now (about as long as my last post). I believe this started around the start of the 6.13 kernel.
