Attempting to follow documentation on how to build kernel modules here fails https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-build-a-wireless-driver armbian-config -> install kernel headers exit cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) make scripts cd git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git cd rtl8192cu-fixes make ARCH=arm make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/6.1.53-current-sunxi/build M=/home/bartrack/tmp/rtl8192cu-fixes modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/6.1.53-current-sunxi/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'.

Where do I get the needed contents?

We are trying to compile a modified kernel module for this version of Armbian downloaded in October When running it reports: $cat /etc/armbian-release # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=orangepizero BOARD_NAME="Orange Pi Zero" BOARDFAMILY=sun8i BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/armbian/build BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=ba704f4740 LINUXFAMILY=sunxi ARCH=arm IMAGE_TYPE=stable BOARD_TYPE=csc INITRD_ARCH=arm KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=zImage FORCE_BOOTSCRIPT_UPDATE= VENDOR=Armbian BOOTSCRIPT_FORCE_UPDATE="no" BOOTSCRIPT_DST="boot.cmd" VERSION=23.8.3 REVISION=23.8.3 BRANCH=current uname -a Linux orangepizero 6.1.53-current-sunxi #3 SMP Wed Sep 13 07:43:05 UTC 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux cat /boot/config-6.1.53-current-sunxi | grep -i MODULE_FORCE # CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD is not set We assume that if CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD is not set that modprobe --force will not work and we will have to compile with the exact headers. Note that we've also tried compiling on the target but : sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-6.1.53-current-sunxi E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-6.1.53-current-sunxi' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-6.1.53-current-sunxi' For cross-compiling, what branch/tag do we checkout from https://github.com/armbian/build that will result in the correct headers? Alternately how do we modify the .ko from a near-similar build to overcome CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD not set? Thank you in advance!
