David,

Hah, yes :-) Same damn upstream change that kept me busy all morning.

Fix for this was just merged today:
https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/pull/791

At a glance that looks like it should keep working fine on older kernels.

I haven't tested it on kernell versions defined in linux.scm. Do I need to do

it before submitting patch for linux module?

I would, at least the latest ‘longterm’ release, currently 5.4. In this case it built fine.

The project obviously intend to keep backwards compatibility so any regressions are theirs to fix & ours to update or patch to.

Pushed with our conventional commit message, please take a look[0].

Thanks!

T G-R
