Title:
ULTS 24 linux 6.8.0-22 modules misversioned
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I get unexpected symbol versioning errors on loading a WiFi module,
both built-in and external:
This is the built-in version:

That looks like to me a packaging error, but then I compiled also an
unofficial version of the driver from sources:
petal# git remote -v
origin https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 (fetch)
origin https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 (push)
petal# ls -ld rtw_8821ce.ko
-rw------- 1 root src 609816 Apr 14 21:57 rtw_8821ce.ko
petal# modinfo rtw_8821ce.ko
filename: /usr/src/rtw88_lwfinger/rtw_8821ce.ko

description: Realtek 802.11ac wireless 8821ce driver

srcversion: B84BA04B6691B1F18054301
alias: pci:v000010ECd0000C821sv*sd*bc*sc*i*

vermagic: 6.8.0-22-generic SMP preempt mod_unload modversions
So I rebooted into kernel 5.15.0-102 and 'rtw88_8821ce' seems to work
as always:
petal# modprobe rtw88_8821ce
petal# dmesg | tail -3
[81954.635875] rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: sta 22:b0:01:a8:1e:4b with macid 0
left
[81954.736381] rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: stop vif 60:e9:aa:a7:9d:31 on port 0
[81984.525318] rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: Firmware version 24.11.0, H2C version
12
I tried to use '--force-vermagic' and '--force-modversion' to see what
would happen and 'modprobe' failed in both cases.
My guess is that there is something quite weird going on with 'linux-
modules-extra-6.8.0-22-generic' because compiling from source an out-
of-kernel module should not have any such issues.
