Realtek-rts5229-linux-driver VS 8821cu

lspci -v | grep -A 5 unassigned 04:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS522A PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01) Subsystem: Lenovo RTS522A PCI Express Card Reader Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 255 Memory at fd500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=4K] Capabilities: Kernel modules: rtsx_pci I also tried installing a fixed driver of the broken one that is available on the Realtek website. However, even though I'm pretty sure the installation of that one worked, lsmod | grep rts rts5229 294912 0 the card reader still uses the rtsx_pci driver instead of this one, even after running rmod rtsx_pci which now tells me the module is not even loaded (why does the lspci output tell me then the card reader is using this module)? So now I'm either looking for a way to get this card reader to use this new driver I installed, a fix of the rtsx_pci driver, or someone to point me in an entirely different direction, because I barely understand how most of this works. Please ask away for any other outputs you need me to provide.

If your linux kernel 5.8 or higher you can try to use this driver https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu

I managed to make my wifi to work thanks to the advice from u/marvelggg getting the drivers for my new wifi card here. https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu

I always had two problems on all linux distros (including previous versions of elementary): no wifi or sound. The wifi driver needed is the rtl8821cu realtek driver. I followed the instructions for 'Ubuntu and derivatives' in the README.md but got this error (These exact steps worked ine in the previous version of elementary):

Hi everyone! My rtl8821cu wifi adapter doesn't work on Artix Linux (runit). I've installed this driver via dkms, I also tried to install rtl8821cu-dkms-git package from AUR but it still doesn't work.
