There’s been a bunch of responses to this.
First, the 4.5.0 kernel has been out for less than a week and we haven’t
updated the standalone driver for a couple of months. We’ll have a new driver
that compiles with this kernel soon.
Also, there seems to be little reason for you to install the out-of-tree driver
because the options you are setting via the command line are available via
ethtool and most are the default for the module.
And finally, your kernel config appears to be wrong. You need to do a “make
olddefconfig” in the source directory before compiling the kernel or a module.

<donald.c.skidm...@intel.com<mailto:donald.c.skidm...@intel.com>>:
So this is an Ubuntu kernel not a kernel.org<http://kernel.org> one, right? It
doesn't mean it shouldn't work just I don't believe our validation actively
checks new Ubuntu kernels. When issues do come up we will however write
kcompat for the next release. Likewise the Source Forge driver can only be
tested on kernels that are available at the time we put out said driver.
4.3.13 came out in January pre 4.5.0 existence so it wouldn't be surprising if
some kernel change caused us a problem. Normally this isn't an issue, like
Todd mentioned, as the upstream driver is often more up to date than what is on
source forge anyway so there isn't much to be gained using the out of tree
driver on such kernels.
About versions: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml
About the discussion about KVER: Im not blaming the misworking module, I want
to understand why its wrong and try to see what we can do about this. 4.5.0
indeed is STABLE kernel and well, its a good thing to know if it changes the
API or something else. Anyways, the discussion about module "working" is (at
least for me now) not valid since after what I pasted below, *** i think its a
compilation environment issue*** (And a dkms.conf miswriting, since Im not a
master of dkms or kernel development). So, my new attempt is documented below.
Someone can please, instead blaming kernel or just saying its supported or not,
try to show to me what is happening and - if someone know how to make it
better, write informations about how this can be done?
A "progressive regression": in dkms.conf, changing "MAKE="cd src/; make
BUILD_KERNEL=\${kernelver} noisy"" to "MAKE="cd src/; make KVER=\${kernelver}
noisy"" - the module compiles, but vermagic is from old kernel. Its ok?
