Hi list,
got a new laptopP (HP Pavilion 15-CS0989NL). I have problem with Realtec wifi adapter RTL8821CE which is not detected at all while BT works fine. Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Ciao Angelo

Yes, for some reason, the driver for this chip does not seem to be part of the official kernel. I build the driver from the source here https://github.com/endlessm/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8821ce
Arch Linux has an AUR package which is supposed to build with DKMS. I haven't tried to make that work for Fedora, though. https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce

Thanks for your answer.
I'll give it a try.
BTW, Cannot find the way to download that source -(.

You'll have to clone the respective repository. If you only want to build the RTL wifi driver, it's probably easier to use the AUR repository. You can download a zip file from the github page or do a $ git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git

Ok I've downloaded it and run make. I've to redo it but I think it will be ok. I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks again for your help.

You are also going to have to be prepared when a kernel change happens and causes it to no longer compile to download an updated version that has the correct code for the new kernel.
I have a RTL8814au and it also is not in the kernel and every so often you will need to go back to the last kernel that worked with it and search for an updated code to support the new kernel.
It is kind of a pain, but my usb add-on wifi card works a lot better than the built-in one one my laptop.

Thanks for the hint. I was sure that I had to rebuild the module at every kernel upgrade. What I didn't know is that a new version has to be downloaded every time. This is really a pain in the neck.
What's your add-on wifi card?

You only need a new version if the kernel interfaces have changed. However, if you're rebuilding the module anyway, why not add a "git pull" before that?
Mine is a usb edimax ac1750, it works quite a bit better than the one that came with my laptop, and has up to 3 streams vs the laptop only having 1. And the one in my laptop did also misbehave from time to time.
And as others have mentioned, you only have to download a "new" version when the kernel interfaces change enough.
I also have had at least once to get it from a new location (updated fork that fixed the kernel interface changes).
It is a pain, but it works better than the built-in one, it would be nice if it were in the kernel, but opening a "bug" with fedora (or kernel.org) is unlikely to fix that, as I believe the request to include code has to come from the original author, and not just any random requester.

How about you taking what you've done, writing up a capsule summary, and opening a bug. Perhaps this driver will get enabled by default.

well, I've never opened any bug so I'm not going to do that.
Also, I've noticed the with this driver I can only connect to 2.4 Ghz and not to 5 Ghz so I'll probably go searching for an add-on usb wifi card -))

You should. Opening a bug is far easier than fixing it.

That might be the actual reason why it's disabled by default, it's not complete. But even if it only implements partial functionality, if it's stable and doesn't cause any problems I think it should be available, by default.
