Summary0001153: kmod-wireguard only built for kernel version 4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64 not for more recent kernels
DescriptionWhen updating my CentOS Stream 8 setup, I found myself without wireguard support.

In elrepo there is only package kmod-wireguard-1.0.20210606-1.el8_4.elrepo.x86_64 that contains:
/lib/modules/4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64
/lib/modules/4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64/extra
/lib/modules/4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64/extra/wireguard
/lib/modules/4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64/extra/wireguard/wireguard.ko
/usr/share/doc/kmod-wireguard-1.0.20210606
/usr/share/doc/kmod-wireguard-1.0.20210606/GPL-v2.0.txt
/usr/share/doc/kmod-wireguard-1.0.20210606/greylist.txt

CentOS Stream 8 currently ships kernel-4.18.0-348.el8.x86_64
Steps To ReproduceInstall kmod-wireguard on a CentOS Stream 8 machine. See that kmod-wireguard only ships for kernel 4.18.0-305 where CentOS Stream 8 ships a bunch of more recent kernels:

4.18.0-326.el8
4.18.0-331.el8
4.18.0-338.el8

ELRepo kmod packages are not compatible with CentOS Stream kernels as these kernels are not kABI compatible with RHEL

You have two choices:

1. You can install the latest CentOS 8.4 (non-Stream) kernel (4.18.0-305.x.y) which are available in the Stream repository
2. You can contact the CentOS kmods SIG ( https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Kmods ) and request a kmod package for CentOS Stream

Looks like the SIG has the kmod in testing.
Now closing the ticket.
