I have been using kde neon last 4 years
lately i am using a new hp laptop and i can't connect to wifi.
QUESTION:
how could i download and install the wifi rtl8821ce drivers with usb-drive from another wifi connected laptop so i can then pass them and install them on the non wifi one?
i don't have direct access to ethernet connection ...
thank you!

Hi! you can download the driver from this page
https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce

ok but before need DKMS...

DKMS

This driver can be installed using DKMS. This is a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated. To make use of DKMS, install the dkms package.
Installation of Driver

Make sure you have a proper build environment and dkms installed.

where is dkms for hp ?
the link is for dell/dkms

Do you have some linux compatible external usb wifi adapter available? If yes, connect using that and then download/configure the inbuilt wifi adapter...

This worked out fine up ti kernel 5.3 but with kernel 5.4.* could`n installed this driver, i fixed it installing gcc-8
https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.04/ubuntu-pr ... 4.deb.html
and editing the make file of the driver and changing
CC = gcc
CC = gcc-8
