Hello,

I cannot load the wireguard module.

Loading the module provides no diagnostic other than 'No such device'.

Please provide maningful diagnostics for loading software-only driver,
clearly there is no particular device needed.

Presumably it's just bubbling up an -ENODEV from somewhere.

Can you get a trace of it?

Something like:

  # trace-cmd record -p function_graph -F modprobe wireguard

That should probably show where it's bailing out.

What machine is this? A Power10?
