Exec format error

[HornedReaper]

Each time my system update the kernel, I must re-install the module because when I type "sudo modprobe 8812au" I got this line as all result :
"modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8812au': Exec format error"
Watch if there is no bug nor backdoor that could disable nor destroy or make a script to re-install with the kernel update the module because it's very boring to have to use my phone to get back the network to get the module that give me the network at each update/upgrade of my system... :-/
Thanks by advance,
Best regards...

ps: I'm on ...buntu last version

Same error. Won't compile either.

I've added some commits to the 4.3.20 branch, which among other things adds support for newer kernels.
Can you test that and see whether that fixes your issue?
