    A backport of the Realtek Wifi 5 drivers from the wireless-next repo.

  • 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)
