Hi, i figured it out whats going on.
I ran apt get update and it caused the driver to stop working. I tried to uninstall (worked) and install what cause the “modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘ix_usb_can’: Invalid argument”

To fix this issue,
make clean, make uninstall, restart, make all and make install

Thanks for the update @Hytac. Yes, you need to keep in mind that there is a version of SocketCAN included in the Linux kernel so if you update, you will lose our version.
