          With a temporary working internet connection by ethernet, tethered or any other means, open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and do:



          sudo apt update
          sudo apt install build-essential git dkms
          git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
          cd rtl8821ce
          sudo ./dkms-install.sh


          The file builds for me on my 18.04 system with a few possibly harmless warnings but no errors.



          Follow with:



          sudo modprobe 8821ce


          You should be all set.

          I tried the above but I still have no Wifi. It seems the last command failed and I am assuming that is the problem. Any idea how I can get it to work. I'll post what I've done below.

            With a temporary working internet connection by ethernet, tethered or any other means, open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and do:



            sudo apt update
            sudo apt install build-essential git dkms
            git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
            cd rtl8821ce
            sudo ./dkms-install.sh


            The file builds for me on my 18.04 system with a few possibly harmless warnings but no errors.



            Follow with:



            sudo modprobe 8821ce


            You should be all set.

            I tried the above but I still have no Wifi. It seems the last command failed and I am assuming that is the problem. Any idea how I can get it to work. I'll post what I've done below.
