Question: After `sudo apt upgrade`, my 32 Bit Raspberry Pi OS runs on a 64 bit
kernel and now I can't compile an out-of-kernel Realtek driver.
Answer: See:

Question: Were compromises made to make this work on EL8 (RHEL, CentOS,
Rocky, etc) distributions?

of the adapter when transmitting or receiving frames. This matches the
behavior of ancient drivers for other chipsets that do work on EL 8.6
(as they do not check link status at all), but is really a kludge to
work around a station accounting issue on these kernels. Only Ad-Hoc and
