Aiming to support Wireguard

September 25, 2025 — BarryK

Some kernel changes were made, in the Easy 7.0.13 release, to support Wireguard; however, not quite there yet. Forum member allendiggity has proposed more changes:

I have abandoned the attempt with SOF, see previous blog post:

https://bkhome.org/news/202509/testing-intel-sof-drivers.html

Instead, staying with HDA. Now, have compiled the 6.12.48 kernel with the changes recommended by allendiggity. These have been added:

Hopefully none of those will "upset the apple cart". I will do some testing before the next release.
