  • Can't connect to Logitech MX Device with Realtek Bluetooth 4.2 Adapter

    What I finally did is cloning the rtl8821ce project locally and run a Manual Installation.
  • RTL8821CE WiFi card not working.
    3 projects | /r/linux4noobs | 15 Jan 2023
    I'm using Debian 11 and a driver from a GitHub repository (https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce), but now I can't connect to any networks.
    3 projects | /r/linux4noobs | 15 Jan 2023
    So based information in the link you mentioned (https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:10ec-c821-1a3b-3040&page=4#status) my options seem to be the three github repositories, of which https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm not sure which one I should try though.
  • RTL8821ce WIFI Adapter Work Around. Can I use a USB WIFI Adapter?
    3 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 29 Dec 2022
    So my laptop has the RTL8821ce WIFI adapter, which doesn't like to work with the Linux OS. I've tried both the official rtw88 driver, and the unofficial rtl8821ce-dkms-git drivers, and although they work, they are less than ideal to say the least. (Connection drops randomly, range is abysmal, and net speed is painful)
