Bug Description

Hi I have a Edimax AC 1200 adapter (EW-7822UAC). When I install the package rtl8812au-dkms, it fails to build (kernel 4.8.0-37). On 16.04 this worked and my wifi was working, but after upgrade to 16.10, the module fails to build. The make log can be found at http://pastebin.com/sfwMxyhW Any suggestions? Is this kernel 4.8.x.x. issue?
