Make fails with kernel 5.17+

[bazeon]

Running make on kernel 5.17 results in the following

You need the 5.8.7 branch/tag:

https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU#for-kernel-511-or-later-please-clone-the-v587-branch

try that and see if it helps.

Not works on 5.18

The error persists even with the 5.8.7 branch

Did anyone find a solution to this? Having the same err on kernel 5.18

[BeadyRaindrop]

Think I have found a working driver repo https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702 Still using kernel 5.18 (Kali), using the TPLink Archer T3U USB Wifi Adapter

[mosoriob]

It didn't work for me. 5.17.5-76051705-generic This driver https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702 works.
