Arch Linux User Repository

@andrej Thank you very much for the comment. It really helps a lot. For people who come across this problem, here is my solution: 0. install this package; 1. update aq_nic.h by inserting #include <linux/ethtool.h> at the beginning; 2. reinstall package linux and linux-lts.

This won't build with 5.11 (as reported e.g. here). To fix it, you need to add an include into aq_nic.h:

#include <linux/ethtool.h>

build() {

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/AQtion-${commit}"
  mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}"
  cp -ar * "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}"
  cat <<EOF >${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}/dkms.conf

        AUTOINSTALL="yes"
EOF
}

This^^^ works for me (with the IPv6 routing hotfix).

IPv6 is broken with this driver; it needs this patch.

thanks again
