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:
