 ## 8821au ( 8821au.ko ) :rocket:
 
-HOT: An effort is underway to add in-kernel support for the rtl8821/11au chipset.
-For more information, go to: /~https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708/issues/133
+## Hot: An in-kernel driver for the rtl8821/11au chipsets has been merged into
+## kernels 6.13 and 6.14. Installing this driver will automatically blacklist
+## the new in-kernel driver, which is part of the rtw88 series of drivers. The
+## new in-kernel driver is Linux Standards comliant and is a much better driver
+## than this one. This driver will no longer get API related updates beyond
+## kernel 6.13. Pull Requests are still welcome.
