Kernel tree log: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/rtl_nic

Fixed in Ubuntu as per this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1890641

It doesn't seem they're built into the kernel or as modules, so we have to rely on this package for the drivers. Could this package get updated to match the kernel tree? Do note that it'd mean the driver would be rtl_nic/rtl8153a-4.fw.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately not. Debian's packages are going to be out of date sometimes since they lock their upstream package versions in before release. I believe bullseye will have the necessary files, so the problem will resolve itself once we release the image.
