I've tried everything on my hands to make my wireless chipset work, a RTL8821CE
But it doesnt seem to run.

I've tried two methods, by default with anything it doesnt work

First, using the default Ubuntu DKMS driver @ rtl8821ce-dkms (apt install rtl8821ce-dkms)
Also blacklisting rtw88_8821ce in the modprobe.d directory

First method doesn't work

Code: Select all

# lsmod | grep 8821
rtl8821ce  2068480 0
cfg80211  970752 1 rtl8821ce

Second method, cloning this repo, and installing
https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce

The module here is called "8821ce", but still doesn't work either. lsmod output is identical to the ubuntu DKMS module, except that it shows a 8821ce instead of a rtl8821ce module

Not sure what else to do, im on KDE Neon 5.25 x64 freshly installed on this laptop,

PS: Tweaks I made so far:

1. Disabled Active Power Management with /etc/default/grub tweak (pci=noaer)
2. Disabled Secure Boot on BIOS
3. Blacklisted rtw88_8821ce

Nothing makes this device to work so far

Try this

sudo apt install dkms-rtl8821ce

If that does not work try the following.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install rtl8821ce-dkms #For RTL8821ce
