If the 88E8042 shares the same driver as 88E8056, check out this forum thread:

Scroll down to note #5 and get the kABI tracking kmod-sk98lin package. There will be no need to rebuild the driver for each kernel update.

Yes, the driver sk98lin works fine for me, under 5.2

Thank you for the note. Then, the OP can go directly to:

http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/sk98lin/

and install the driver from there (thanks to Alan for building them). These kmods are not kernel version specific, so will survive kernel updates.
