Hi Neil,

Our limited testing (we don't have actual hardware upon which to test) 
shows that the latest package available (built against the RHEL 8.7 
kernel) is forward compatible with current RHEL 8.8 kernels, hence no 
new package has been built.

If you were to find this is not the case, please do let us know and of 
course we will be happy to build an updated driver package for you ASAP.

Regards,

Phil
