** Description changed: + [SRU Justification] + + [Impact] + + rtl8821ce-dkms fails to build against v5.10 kernels. While oem-5.10 + kernel is being backported to Focal, some models of rtl8821ce would fail + with built-in rtw88 driver and yet this rtl8821ce-dkms fails to build + from source. + + [Test Case] + + Install linux-headers-oem-20.04b from focal-updates, and rtl8821ce-dkms + from focal-proposed or my PPA in + https://launchpad.net/~vicamo/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-1911605. The + installation process would trigger dkms build automatically with + success. + + [Where problems could occur] + + While this is still not the in-tree official kernel driver, the fix is + not verified by the kernel community and may cause unknown behavior + and/or security weakness with new kernel versions. Always use with + cautions. + + ========== original bug report ========== + upgrade to 5.10 kernel headers causes rebuild of rtl8821ce-dkms to fail due to missing symbols as per make.log ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: rtl8821ce-dkms 5.5.2.1-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-36.40+21.04.1-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-36-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu55 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Jan 13 21:23:05 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-10-21 (84 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 20.10 "Groovy Gorilla" - Release amd64 (20201021) PackageArchitecture: all RebootRequiredPkgs: - linux-image-5.10.0-12-generic - linux-base + linux-image-5.10.0-12-generic + linux-base SourcePackage: rtl8821ce UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
