编译以太网驱动时遇sys/socket.h缺失致命错误，求解决方法

在Ubuntu 20.04系统上通过内核源码编译了自定义内核6.6.27，编译厂商提供的r8126驱动（版本10.015.00）时出现如下编译错误：

Check old driver and unload it.

注：已修正报错信息中明显的输入笔误（如nf contrack改为nf_conntrack、18126_n.o改为r8126_n.o等），保留原始路径中的拼写错误。

在文件系统中搜索到多个socket.h文件：

/usr/include/libnl3/netlink/socket.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/socket.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/socket.h

/usr/include/linux/socket.h

/usr/src/linux-headers-6.6.27-202412311424+/include/uapi/asm-generic/socket.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.6.27-202412311424+/include/asm-generic/socket.h

已检查系统安装的libc版本，现寻求解决该编译错误的方法。
