I am getting following build error:
'
drivers/net/tap/bpf/meson.build:13:10: ERROR: Command `/usr/sbin/bpftool
--version` failed with status 2.
'
There is a '/usr/sbin/bpftool' file but it is a script and gives
following message when run:
"WARNING: bpftool not found for kernel 6.5.0-15"
This is with "Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS"
Overall thanks for fixing tap BPF support.
