I get this as well.
There is a PR at #83 that seems to work, last merge to this repo was in April 2017 so I'm not sure this is being maintained anymore.
EDITED: https://askubuntu.com/questions/999951/netgear-a6210-not-installed-on-ubuntu-17-10
Follow the above link and check the second provided answer. You have to download https://github.com/genodeftest/Netgear-A6210/archive/port-to-4.13.zip My A6210 now works.
Same issue, worst part is I can't get internet on my desktop until I can get this driver working and I started learning to use ubuntu...
Fortunately for now I can just hard wire my machine to the router. I have three machines though where the final application is dependent on wifi, and I had purchased Netgear A6210s . My mistake. Netgear does not claim to support linux. It is nice that folks do hack drivers that work. IMO It is better to use hardware from a company that has committed support for linux.
I've looked through recent related issues. It appears the following should work and did with prior kernals, Just not with this . Make log is included below.
