dkms autoinstall kernel version (bad exit status 2)

Everytime I upgrade kernel, I have to do dkms autoinstall after reboot, for my wifi drivers. This is pretty annoying given the fact how often the kernel is updated. When I run dkms autoinstall right after upgrade, it won't build, because it defaults to the old kernel, which is loaded. I tried using -k option with no luck

The kernel is found, but something is still not right.

dkms autoinstall -k 4.5.4-1-ARCH
Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File:  does not exist.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area...
make KERNELRELEASE=4.5.4-1-ARCH...(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.5.4-1-ARCH (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rt3290/2.6.0.0rev1/build/make.log for more information.

I looked at the log and it seems it still somehow defaults to the old kernel:

gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2h
chmod +x bin2h
