Can you include the wireguard module in the kernel, please?

 

It's missing from Armbian 23.05.0-trunk Bullseye with Linux 5.4.239-odroidxu4. This is a required module for the Openmediavault Wireguard Plugin to install correctly (using OMV 6.4.9-1 (Shaitan))

 

However I'm told that omv 6 requires Debian 11 Bullseye so, if there's an existing Armbian build with it, can you let me know, please?

I think I have a very similar issue. Unable to get Wireguard running on an odroid hc2.

Trying to install wireguard-dkms yields to the following output (After pinning debian 11 debs):

Building for 5.4.243-odroidxu4 6.1.0-10-rt-armmp

Module build for kernel 6.1.0-10-rt-armmp was skipped since the

The reason why it is unable to build the module seems to be a mismatch between the linux image and linux headers:

user@device:~$ sudo apt install linux-image-current-odroidxu4

Any idea how to fix this?

Try using the armbian build script to configure the Linux kernel the way you need it. One of the kernel configurations is "Add wireguard"

 

Here are general instructions on how to recompile the kernel and rebuild the OS image in your PC

https://github.com/robertojguerra/orangepi-zero-full-setup/blob/main/README2.md

 

From the wireguard website: https://www.wireguard.com/compilation/

 

In the linux menuconfig, find:

[*] Networking support --> Networking options --> [*] TCP/IP networking [*] IP: WireGuard secure network tunnel [ ] Debugging checks and verbose messages

And select "M" for kernel module
