Additional content: It doesn't seem like anyone had this before, so here I am.

Hope this is easy to fix. Thanks for your work (used this module/driver/repo on other linux distributions)

Hi. Try this patch https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/compare/v5.6.4.2...CGarces:centos

[Atavixion]

Same error. I applied the patch and get this(updated link after seeing how to report :) )

I don't know how to do fancypants branching and pulling and patching and stuff in git, sorry. Basically, edit the file:

os_dep/linux/ioctl_cfg80211.c

And, add:

|| RHEL_RELEASE_CODE >= RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(8,0)

To the end of lines:

Tried this and it worked :)
