The error occurs because these drivers are incompatible with the installation of the new kernel in MXLinux 23.2, and therefore must be removed to resolve the issue and complete the kernel installation on our Linux operating system. These are obsolete drivers, but they are added for compatibility with older hardware and peripherals.
This is the error I got when compiling and installing kernel 6.1.90 LTS on MX-Linux:
See the error trace in the last phase of compiling the new kernel:

rtl8821cu-dkms: Controlador rtl8821cu en formato DKMS, compila hasta núcleos 5.17.
Key trace to get the new 6.1.90 kernel working:
Deprecated feature: MODULES_CONF (/var/lib/dkms/rtl8821ce/5.5.2.1+git20240120/source/dkms.conf)

Uninstalling obsolete and incompatible drivers
In order to finish installing the Linux kernel, we must uninstall these three drivers, which are obsolete and incompatible with the new kernel.
$ sudo apt remove rtl8821ce-dkms rtl8812au-dkms rtl8821cu-dkms
I now have the new Linux kernel 6.1.90 LTS in MXLinux working perfectly.
