Comment 6 for bug 1916640

Hi Butterfly,

thanks for the info. Actually I am on Kubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.11.8 but I'll test your drivers on Hirsute in a month as soon as it becomes available.

Just for info there is already a patch for kernel 5.12.
If interested you may take a look here:

Have a nice day.
