"pair interfaces: operation not supported" error in docker

I installed Ubuntu 21.10 Server for Raspberry PI, then i installed Docker and used docker-compose to start some containers, but i notice this is not working anymore. Previously i had Ubuntu 20.04 LST and everything was working fine (except the lack of NVME boot support, added in 21.10).

Error response from daemon: failed to create endpoint fpm-redis-1 on network fpm_default: failed to add the host (veth4f16537) <=> sandbox (veth3eb890a) pair interfaces: operation not supported

The issue seams to be kernel related after searching for several hours while trying to find a solution.

According to release notes for 21.10, this should help:

sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-raspi

Various kernel modules have been moved from the linux-modules-raspi package in order to reduce the initramfs size. This results in several applications (most notably Docker, bug 1947601) failing due to missing kernel modules. To work around this:

sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-raspi
