for comparison, I checked drivers from Intel and they work: bladernr@vm1:~$ uname -a Linux vm1 5.8.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 23 00:39:43 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux bladernr@vm1:~$ for x in e1000 e1000e e100 fm10k i40e iavf ice igb igbvf igc ixgb; do echo "$x: `modinfo -F version $x`"; done e1000: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI e1000e: 3.2.6-k e100: 3.5.24-k2-NAPI fm10k: 0.27.1-k i40e: 2.8.20-k iavf: 3.2.3-k ice: 0.8.2-k igb: 5.6.0-k igbvf: 2.4.0-k igc: 0.0.1-k ixgb: 1.0.135-k2-NAPI
Additionally, I also checked broadcom storage drivers and they DO return version strings with the 5.8: bladernr@vm1:~$ for x in be2iscsi bnx2fc bnx2i; do > echo "$x: `modinfo -F version $x`"; done be2iscsi: 11.4.0.1 bnx2fc: 2.12.13 bnx2i: 2.7.10.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897955 Title: [5.8] broadcom driver binaries do not contain a driver string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1897955/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
