modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Exec format error #202

I installed the driver in my Kubuntu 20.04 referring this for TP-Link AC1300. It was working good. But after upgrading to Kubuntu 21.10, the adapter didn't work. I executed the commands in above link again, but the dkms operations skipped execution with message that they were already installed (on kernel 5.13.0-39-generic/x86_64). When I executed modprobe I got this response modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Exec format error How to fix this? Are there any commands to be executed when we upgrade the distro or change kernel? Please help with the fix.

Kubuntu 21.10 is already deprecated to my knowledge. The non LTS versions are supported for only 9 months.

Anyhow, I cannot recall to have seen an Exec format error. Could you try to

  1. checkout the latest branch (5.8.7.1)
  2. compile it manually and
  3. try to insert it via insmod?
