Update to Kernel 5.8.1 and I don't have internet anymore

I use a wireless connection using a USB dongle. it worked fine until the update to kernel 5.8.1

To get it working I had installed 8192eu-dkms, and during the kernel update there was some error:

[2020-08-15T10:58:58+0100] [ALPM] running '70-dkms-install.hook'...
[2020-08-15T10:58:58+0100] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> dkms install --no-depmod -m 8192eu -v 86.83b5aff -k 5.8.1-arch1-1

I tried to uninstall 8192eu-dkms and re-install kernel. This way there were no errors but no internet on reboot.

If I downgrade to 5.7.9 I have internet, but then my Xs are not working and the system doesnt boot into gnome.

Checking the make.log file in dkms, it says something about redefinition of struct sha256_state... but no idea:

Please post the contents of make.log

Rebuild 8192eu-dkms so it updates from the upstream git to 925ac2b.
