One idea?

Same issue here:

$ sudo dkms autoinstall -m rtl88x2bu

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Any idea?

[Max Görner]

I would be surprised if it could be installed using dkms directly. I never did so. Instead, there is the deploy.sh which works reasonably well. If there are issues with the deploy script, feel free to open a new issue.
