PVE 6.0-7 + ixgbe firmware errors

Thought I'd give a little update on this as I just recently applied some updates to Proxmox and that got a little bump in the kernel and so it made a new initramfs. I restarted since there was a kernel update and after rebooting I noticed all those firmware error messages were right back and filling the console.

So since I already had the version in my previous post downloaded and ready to do a make install , so I followed the exact same steps as my previous post starting at the make install command.

And it worked again perfectly! I didn't expect any problems, but just thought I'd mention it just in case someone else runs into it after a smaller update that does bring a new kernel version along with it as I expect this to be a thing for a little while at least.
 
Another update on this, with the recent update that includes the version 7 kernel, this no longer works! I did go to github and found someone else having the same issue, and I added my findings there as well. If you bump into this and want to add your voice to the issue, or just want to see exactly what I ran into, here's a link to it:

Same here. ixgbe does not build on kernel 7. Thanks for opening the issue on github.
My current workaround is to pin kernel 6.17.13-6-pve and build ixgbe-6.3.6.

Bash: 
root@pve1:~# modinfo ixgbe | head -2
filename:       /lib/modules/6.17.13-6-pve/updates/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
version:        6.3.6
