[SOLVED] wifi dr]iver module build fails

I'm using the LTS kernel on my old computer. Updated it today and after reboot the wifi doesn't work.
I tried reinstalling the drivers from AUR, got the following errors.

Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' all KVER=5.4.95-1-lts....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.4.95-1-lts (x86_64)

What do I do to resolve this?

Re: [SOLVED] wifi dr]iver module build fails

Ah, guess I'll wait for that to be fixed and avoid reboots. Gladly my system hasn't broken yet.
Edit: the bug has been fixed, updated my system, rebooted and everything works fine!
