Amlogic .S905l2 "linux-headers-6.1.80-ophub" does not compile

[fari2000]

I have been trying to compile wifi module rtl8189ES, but I am getting an error:

obtaining header files linux-headers-6.6.16-current-meson64 through "armbian-config->...->Kernel headers" and applying:

I get a successful compilation , but I can not bind the module due to mismatch of headers and kernel ( I am guessing)

[ophub]

The error message is as written in your log: the compiler is not the same. You can try updating to the dev series kernel first, then attempt to compile again

armbian-update -u dev -k 6.1.79

Thanks for your feedback!
I did
armbian-update -u dev -k 6.1.79
was successful, the only linux/src is still linux-headers-6.1.79-ophub

uname -a
Linux i3Mega 6.1.79-ophub #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 17:53:13 CST 2024 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

make ARCH=aarch64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.79-ophub/ M=/home/pi/rtl8189ES_linux modules
make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.79-ophub'
Makefile:774: arch/aarch64/Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'arch/aarch64/Makefile'. Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.79-ophub'

The same error as before
If I try with ARCH=arm64, than I get the error "The kernel was built by: aarch64-none-linux-gnu-gcc"
So the problem is the missing aarch64 folder in the linux-headers... only arm64 folder exists in linux-headers
Updating the kernel and sources with armbian-config does't solve the problem

MY Guess: It looks like the kernel was compiles with aarch64, but the linux-headers do not contain the aarch64 folder!

[fari2000]

Any idee, where to get the right headers with aarch64 folder?
