Thanks, I'll check and see if upstream changed something that broke the 20.04 build.

@ivanbishop Can you pull the latest from ubuntu-20.04 and see if it's working now? I was able to get it to build on my ubuntu machine by pushing https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver/commit/f07579c29427f061b3b181b9de547290a2d5346b

[ivanbishop]

Will tomorrow Ben, MANY thanks. I'll update the ticket/comments Ivan
