Subject: rtlwifi-new v0.6 and dkms failures

Larry,

Thanks for your prior assistance with the rtw88 module.  Since manually
compiling and installing works correctly, I have been working to
register the software in dkms, but am running into some difficulties. 
Below are some snippets from a terminal session to illustrate the issue:

udo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtlwifi-new/0.6/source ->
                 /usr/src/rtlwifi-new-0.6

DKMS: add completed.

Below is the make.log contents referenced above:

As you can see, the make log does not show any errors, which is baffling
to me.  Any insight you have on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
