One more favor: I refreshed rtl8821ae-kmp. It reverts the previous official fix and re-applied the last tentative fix again. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tiwai:/bnc944978/standard/x86_64/rtl8821ae-kmp-default-4.1_k4.1.12_1-3.1.x86_64.rpm Installing this should override the driver module. After installing this KMP, check the output of "modinfo rtl8821ae | grep file". It should point to a patch containing "updates/". Could you try it as is (without any option)?
