Secure boot turned off.

Any advices will be appreciated.

hum I think this is an dkms issue. dkms for some reason create symbol links in weak kernel directory (/usr/lib/modules/5.6.16-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ ) if you delete it you may have not "version magic '5.8.11-200.fc32.x"

rm /usr/lib/modules/5.6.15-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/8821ce.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/5.6.16-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/8821ce.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/5.7.11-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/8821ce.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/5.8.10-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/8821ce.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/5.8.11-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/8821ce.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/5.8.12-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/8821ce.ko.xz ```

I've been chasing this for a different module as well, and it isn't directly a dkms issue, but something with how RedHat adds modules. Also, aside from removing the files you will need to run "depmod -a " to clean it up.

yes , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1828455 maybe the best is delete or move /usr/sbin/weak-modules script file ...

anyway 8821ce will be shipped on kernel 4.9 . https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5779#c4

just emphasize remove /usr/sbin/weak-modules is the best solution for now
