Everybody knows that any kernel module can be blacklisted via GRUB line:
$ module_name.blacklist=yes
However, not everybody knows the exact name of module to blacklist. And that is the real problem! How to identify it?
For example, during of loading of GRUB I see:
rtlwifi firmware not available
which is quite useless of identification. Neither
rtlwifi.blacklist=yes
nor any other variants worked. How do I figure out the name?
The same thing goes with Bluetooth adapter. It throws:
[ 9.366503] Bluethooth: hci0: Failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin
Of course, rtl_bt/rt18821a_fw.blacklist=yes didn't work.
$ lsmod | grep rtl
rtl8821ae 233472 0
btcoexist 131072 1 rtl8821ae
rtl_pci 32768 1 rtl8821ae
btrtl 16384 1 btusb
bluetooth 548864 5 btrtl,btintel,btbcm,btusb
rtlwifi 77824 3 rtl_pci,btcoexist,rtl8821ae
mac80211 778240 3 rtl_pci,rtlwifi,rtl8821ae
cfg80211 622592 2 mac80211,rtlwifi
Any suggestions?
UPDATE: What concerns rtlwifi error lspci -v listed only following
Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

Kernel driver in use: rtl8821ae
Kernel modules: rtl8821ae
And name rtl8821ae already was in my blacklist without any result, so it seems to be no-go.
What concerns Bluethooth: hci0 error, lspci listed no Bluetooth modules or nothing similar to rtl_bt, maybe because Bluetooth adapter is not a PCI device.
