Linux Kernel is unable to load igb driver

Hello out there, I have an issue with the igb driver on a 5.18.7 kernel. With e.g. 4.13.5 I am able to recognize and enable my Intel NUC. 

by booting the 5.18 kernel I only can tell, that I get neither a eth-n interface nor an IP address. the only trace I have is from dmesg which says:

"igb: unknown symbol i2c_bit_add_bus (err -2)"

by searching the kernel source code, I found out that this symbol i2c_bit_add_bus is provided by the i2c_algobit module. This module is within the kernel, according to config file. Bit if I look into /proc/kallsyms it does not appear there. But its already activated within the .config file as CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=y

With 4.13.5 however it's visible:

cat /proc/kallsyms| grep i2c_al

ffffffffa049bbf0 T i2c_bit_add_bus      [i2c_algo_bit]

 

So Im not sure what is the status there, does anyone know what the problem might be?

 

Thank you in advance

In order to have a better understanding of your issue, please provide me with the following:


  • What is the Intel Nuc model you are using?
