From the included README within the linux download of the driver, they suppore manual install of the driver.

To manually build this driver:

  1. Make sure you have all the environment to build standalone kernel module.
    On debian based systems you may do the following:

sudo apt install linux-headers build-essential

  1. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For example,
    use /home/username/aquantia.
    Untar/unzip archive:

cd ~/aquantia
tar zxf Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z.tar.gz

  1. Change to the driver src directory:

cd Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z/

  1. Compile the driver module:
    make

  2. Load the dependencies and the module:
    sudo modprobe ptp
    sudo modprobe crc_itu_t
    sudo insmod atlantic.ko

  3. Unload the driver
    sudo rmmod atlantic

  4. Install the driver in the system
    make && make install

driver will be in:

/lib/modules/uname -r/aquantia/atlantic.ko

  1. Uninstall the driver:
    make uninstall
    or run the following commands:
    sudo rm -f /lib/modules/uname -r/aquantia/atlantic.ko
    depmod -a uname -r

This is a bit above my understanding, but I think that it is entirely doable as long as you have make from a swupd bundle. You can ensure this by using sudo swupd bundle-add make.

It seems like there is some kind of error in the last step of the installation process.

You didn’t use sudo for the make install. This would most likely be why it doesn’t have permissions within the /lib/* directory. Try again with sudo make install instead of make install

That is an Ubuntu host. These are the Clear Linux OS forums. You’ll probably get better help and context on the Ubuntu community forums.
