New Raspberry Pi Kernels & Related Packages

Hello. I’m getting ready to try experimenting with the 2.5GbE adapter again later this week, assuming the NVME drive remains stable with other USB devices plugged in using the latest firmware.

A couple of questions:

This is what I see now for the 5.10.y kernel on the unstable/beta branch. Is this what I need to switch to?

❯ pacman -sS linux-rpi4
core/linux-rpi4 5.10.23-1
    The Linux Kernel and modules - Raspberry Pi 4 64-bit kernel
core/linux-rpi4-headers 5.10.23-1
    Header files and scripts for building modules for linux kernel - Raspberry Pi 4 64-bit kernel

Am I good to go with the latest bootloader packages? After installing the latest beta firmware, mine are newer than the ones you mentioned before.

After switching kernels, do I just follow the same instructions you provided in the other thread, but using the version number of the latest unstable branch kernel (today: 5.10.23-1)? Specifically: Sabrent USB 2.5G Ethernet Adapter: Realtek 8152 Chipset Drivers from AUR? - #17 by Darksky

How do patches like this migrate? I notice we’re using 5.10.y for testing. Will this eventually move to 5.11.y, or go straight to 5.12, once it’s considered stable?
