>Solution :

I regret to learn that the recommended git repository has very recently been superceded. Here is the new method:

git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702.git
cd 88x2bu-20210702
sudo ./install-driver.sh

Reboot

NOTE: Since you refer in your previous question to another attempted driver installation, I assume that the prerequisites git, dkms, build-essential and linux-headers are already installed.
