Hi,
experiencing warnings for my two Realtek USB NICs while booting my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1
Kernel is Linux underworld 6.12.6-1-rpi #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 20 07:11:12 MST 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Errors in Kernel log:

How can I get rid of those?
I did some investigation by myself:
- Firmware files are present and located under /usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic/
- Firmware files are not included in the mkinitcpio image
- fwupd is not installed (do I need it?)
Appreciate some hints / ideas to solve. Thx.
