The standard one looks incompatible for now, since there is no kernel 4.1.8
available on repo although the KMP was built against it.  So remove it for now.

Instead, install only the one in devel repo, currently
rtl8821ae-kmp-desktop-4.1_k4.1.9-*.rpm.  The easiest way would be like below:
    zypper ar obs://home:/tiwai:/bnc944978/devel rtl-test
    zypper ar obs://Kernel:/openSUSE-42.1/standard kernel-test
    zypper ref
    zypper in rtl8821ae-kmp-desktop

Once after installation, you can remove these repos,
    zypper rr rtl-test
    zypper rr kernel-test

Then boot with 4.1.9 kernel and try modprobe rtl8821ae.  If you still get an
error, please give dmesg output.
