DKMS doesn't rebuild rtl8812au when kernel is updated #72

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a problem with this module or with something else, but I have no idea where I could ask instead of right here.

I'm using Fedora 25, and usually upgrade my kernel whenever there is a new version. Whenever I upgrade my kernel, I have to remove, recompile and re-add the module to the new kernel. I thought the reason to use DKMS was to not have to recompile kernel modules manually, so I'm confused about where I'm fucking up. Can anybody help me?

I have the same problem

Solution is to add KVER=${kernelver} in make command in dkms.conf. Read comment 2 from this answer.

@Markussss it may have been due to the driver not supporting a new(er) kernel version. I just updated the 4.3.20 branch so it has support till kernel 4.15. Could you try that one? Could you also post the output of uname -r?
