Talked to upstream and discovered this is by design on their end: This is not a bug. The versions of all network drivers in the kernel tree were removed around March 2020. The arbitrary version of each driver was considered too arbitrary and not meaningful, so they were all removed:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt?id=e3c0a635103d6a0a49ca6b5ddf945a11693e45b2 Each driver is part of the kernel and so the kernel version should be relied on instead. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- 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
