I built the required module for the 8821ce chip from source (https://github.com/endlessm/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8821ce). 2.4GHz wifi is working fine, however 5GHz as well as bluetooth is not available. Do I miss something or is it just not implemented completely by now?

  • Can I ask you which steps are needed to build the module? I downloaded the source files from github. Then tried run the make command but it complains and cannot do that. – user681365 May 23 '18 at 12:33

Try that from your home directory

git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
cd rtl8821ce/
sudo make all
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -a 8821ce

I have the same module in HP Probook 440-G5 and have the same issue, for what I've found, it is not implemented yet :(. So we need to wait until someone implements them.

  • The only information driver that I could find but does not work on my laptop is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem/+bug/1742613. Note that this driver is for the bluetooth part only and is for the 8821CU Realtek module. – Luis Barrague Apr 07 '18 at 14:01
