Hi. Driver previously worked with 5.2.18. I was able to compile driver on 5.3.x but when it starts there is error in dmesg about module: https://pastebin.com/7Vaw3dJJ

Sister project (rtl8821cu) already have solution implemented. Details see here: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU/issues/15#issuecomment-545037120

The vendor command policy fix mentioned in that thread was merged here from #42. We'll need to do some digging to find what's failing with the newer kernel.

@cilynx Just wanted to confirm that I have no issues on Fedora 31 with kernel 5.3.6.

$ Linux 5.3.6-300.fc31.x86_64

I will be happy to provide useful information if requested.

EDIT: Fedora 31 had an update recently to Kernel 5.3.7. I am happy to report that dkms has worked as intended and my Wireless Dongle continues to work without regression.

By the way, the chipset I have in this Wireless Dongle is:0bda:b812

Hi. You need to install dkms, kernel-devel, kernel-headers, gcc, bc packages.

I can confirm driver works for me with latest kernel on Fedora 30 - 5.3.8-200.fc30.x86_64

Thank you for support.
