My contact at Realtek just sent me a message containing "I'd like to let you know that I don't forget this thing, and my colleague is working on this. If there's any update, I'll let you know. Please wait a while."

Hi all,

Just following up on the below, which i sent back in April:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=161968427506696&w=2

Using kernel 5.13.13, i'm still getting the "rfe 4 isn't supported" message; and additionally, someone has commented in the tomaspinho/rtl8821ce GitHub repo that they're getting an "rfe _6_ isn't supported" message:
