Here's a git diff for dkms.conf to restrict it to available pre-5.16 kernels:

It might be possible to reduce the regex a little...

Anyone who has already built the module for 5.16 and uses this patch will need to manually depmod the 5.16 kernel to remove references to the now-non-existent DKMS module.

And for people using linux-lts?

Linux 5.16 is out in core, therefore this package is obsolete for systems with the standard Arch kernel. Perhaps it is worth flagging this package out of date to notify those who have it installed once they attempt to update? Or a message could be added to the PKGBUILD?

v7 version is in main branch

This is an issue with all dkms modules, even when the module is not built in to the kernel, so this needs to be fixed for sure (though it's not this AUR packager's responsibility). Either it's an issue with the kernel upstream or it's an issue with DKMS.

Linux 5.16 has rtw89 built-in, so I don't see any point of making this dkms package to work with kernel >= 5.16.

gardotd426 commented on 2021-11-29 19:07 (UTC)

The 5.16 issue is confirmed, but it's likely not this package. All DKMS modules fail to build+install on 5.16 release candidate kernels (at least the few varieties I and others have tried). I'm gonna report this to DKMS at some point today.

@PBS, that's not supposed to happen, it doesn't happen for me, and that probably means you've done something weird.

PBS commented on 2021-11-25 05:19 (UTC)

Somehow .git/, .gitignore, debian/ and README end up inside the package. Is that supposed to happen?

i can't seem to build it with linux-git due to the following error :
