FAQ and quickstart

FAQ and quickstart

[lennart]

Hi,

I'm trying to wireguard via the quickstart [0].
But I get this error:
$ sudo ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

I know it has something to do with kernel configurations, but that would
be a whole new topic to me.
What do I need to do? Isn't this a good question for a FAQ?

I'm on a archlinux:
$ uname -r
4.8.13-1-ARCH

Second:
How can a search the hole list archive? I'm just used to an interface to
do that.

Thanks a lot!

Did you install WireGuard?

The kernel module is most likely not loaded.

Make sure the following command returns something.

$ lsmod | grep wireguard
wireguard             126976  0
ip6_udp_tunnel         16384  1 wireguard
udp_tunnel             16384  1 wireguard
x_tables               28672  12 xt_hashlimit,xt_LOG,ipt_REJECT,ip_tables,iptable_filter,xt_tcpudp,xt_limit,ip6t_REJECT,ip6table_filter,wireguard,xt_conntrack,ip6_tables
ipv6                  389120  151 nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_reject_ipv6,nf_defrag_ipv6,wireguard,nf_nat_ipv6

Since you are on archlinux, did you reboot after kernel upgrade?

Solved it! (Thanks Jason)
"linux-headers" was not installed.
"pacman -S linux headers" did the trick.

Thanks all!

Hi Christian,

Should the wireguard Arch package depend on linux-headers? Or the dkms
package on linux-headers? Or is it just the Arch-way that dkms merely
prints a warning but doesn't actually have real package deps?

We have several linux packages in our repositories. Users may use linux-lts,
linux-zen, linux-grsec or anything from AUR with the corresponding headers
package. Depending on 'linux-headers' would force the users to install linux
and linux-headers packages.

Even the tools' dependency on the module is something people complain about...

So I think I will keep things as-is. Users are advised to read install
messages. :-P

Makes sense!
