It seems that Fedora does not support the Realtek RTL8811CU for WiFi.
A
user at ask.Fedora just had the issue. `lsusb` classifies it just as
"Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac
NIC"; correspondingly, `nmcli` does not recognize it at all.
A bug report with some improvised interim-solutions seems to already
exist https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1957828 , the most
widespread solution seems to be https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU
(but unknown maintenance).
Is it known why the 8811CU remains unsupported? Or have I missed something?

Fedora does not include out of tree kernel modules. To get it into fedora,
the module will need to be included in the upstream kernel.
