rtl8821ce-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19

[Paolo Pisati]

[Impact]

rtl8821ce-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19.

[Test case]

 $ sudo apt-get install rtl8821ce-dkms

[Fix]

Recent upstream Linux superseded this module and this DKMS was removed in Jammy+, thus add a skip build directive for 5.15+.

[Regression potential]

None, we skip building altogether.

Hello Paolo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted rtl8821ce into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rtl8821ce/5.5.2.1-0ubuntu11~0.22.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

The package in -proposed works as expected in Jammy i.e. the build does not fail, and it is skipped when using Linux 5.19. This matches the intended purpose of the SRU.
