Hi again,

Regarding the documentation example, one (contrived) alternative is:

"""
For example, if you need the driver for a Realtek RTL8821CE wireless network adapter for mounting the root filesystem over NFS, your configuration might include the following:

@lisp
(operating-system
  ;; @dots{}
  (initrd-modules (cons "8821ce" %base-initrd-modules))
  (kernel-loadable-modules (list (list rtl8821ce-linux-module "module"))))
@end lisp
"""

While I don't have the hardware, I did verify the kernel module name by building the rtl8821ce-linux-module package.

Cheers,
Kaelyn
