Hi Tamas,

While the creation of the kmod packages are being investigated, you
might like to test the kernel-ml package set [1] that we provide for
use with both RHEL7 and RHEL8.

The current version [2] (which I shall shortly be announcing on this
m/l) is built from the linux-5.8.6 sources and has the MAC802154
configuration option set to build it as a module.

Knowing the result of your test(s) with kernel-ml may assist with the
backport required to create the relevant kmod package.

Alan.
