Newbie here. I managed to install the driver on Ubuntu and Pop_OS! 20.04/20.10 without any issues however, I am not able to do so on both Fedora 33 and 34. Here are the return of the commands on the how to install guide:

$ sudo sh prepare-for-current-kernel.sh

If anyone has an idea, I'd love to try it !

Well, it looks like the problem lies here: prepare-for-current-kernel.sh: line 16: patch: command not found So the files were not patched and thus you just reinstalled the same unmodified module you already had. So you probably have to install the patch package first. I'm no Fedora expert, but I think you should be able to install the package using dnf install patch Then, perform all the steps again. I hope it works.

This did the trick, thanks!
