Installing wireguard with kernel 5.2.9-kirkwood

Hello.

Has anyone been able to install wireguard from backports with 5.2.9-kirkwood kernel?

I get:

...
Setting up wireguard-dkms (1.0.20210219-1~bpo10+1) ...
Loading new wireguard-1.0.20210219 DKMS files...
Building for 5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 5.11.4-kirkwood-tld-1
Module build for kernel 5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
...

Previously, I have installed manually the linux-headers-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb package in /boot, but the wireguard module is not build

Am I missing anything?

Upgrade the kernel to the latest linux-5.11.4-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 (or at least 5.6.x). It was only available in my kernel builds since 5.6.x-kirkwood-tld-y.

Are you sure?

jcromero@goflexnet:/boot$ dpkg --contents linux-image-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb | grep wireguard
jcromero@goflexnet:/boot$

Sorry, I meant:

jcromero@goflexnet:/boot$ dpkg --contents linux-image-5.11.4-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb | grep wireguard
jcromero@goflexnet:/boot$

jcromero,

That's not how you should do it.

dpkg --contents linux-image-5.11.4-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb | grep wireguard

The command above does not really tell you anything.

Check the kernel config file like this:

grep -i wireguard config-5.11.4-kirkwood-tld-1

CONFIG_WIREGUARD=y
# CONFIG_WIREGUARD_DEBUG is not set

And after you installed and run the box with the kernel, check dmesg

dmesg | grep -i wireguard

You are right.

I was expecting wireguard be compiled as a module.

Sorry for the noise.
