Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-tools/issues/23

After run awg-quick up 'path to .config' I get

Warning: `config_name.conf' is world accessible
[#] ip link add config_name type amneziawg
Error: Unknown device type.
Unable to access interface: Protocol not supported
[#] ip link delete dev config_name
Cannot find device "config_name"

Installing linux headers or reboot don't help in this case.
