After adding rtw_pci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf , running "sudo depmod -a" and "sudo update-initramfs -u -k '5.6.0-8-generic'" and rebooting, rtw_pci was loaded by the other driver "rtwpci". Adding "rtwpci" to the blacklist and rebooting, "lspci -vvnn" gives a proper output for the network device. However, with disabling these two drivers there is zero internet functionality since the device does not have a driver associated with it and the kernel does not have one available to load, of course. Attached is both the dmesg and lspci outputs from when both of these modules were blacklisted. I was expecting the kernel to load the old realtek network driver 'rtlwifi' instead, but I guess it is no longer installed.
