Oops. With further digging, I found this post (viewed 2,000 times, so I'm not alone) which says the 8821ae did work with the PCIe card in 2018, & worked best on Cinnamon! What do you think happened to cause it to no longer work? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/644936/which-rtl8821ae-dri...

The Intel 7260 is a solid wifi card in Linux. I used one for a while on older versions of Mint on a laptop I'm looking at the 7260 right now on Ebay. However, I stumbled across this driver for the 8821ae on Github, but do you think it could work with a card vs a USB wifi dongle? Or should I just gi...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm posting in other areas since no working reply here. I'll post back if I get a solution.

Worked once. Disappeared on reboot.

Would prefer using the 1x slot on the mobo, not losing USB ports to a honking USB WIFI dongle.

My USB Belkin gets super hot, current mobo 8821AE isn't working, so I need to get something better going asap. Is the Intel 7260 ac better? Anyone using this?

PSS: Ran the CE version and it still doesn't work.

Am I literally the only person with this card, is it a Linux Mint dud, should I buy the Intel 7260 ac instead.

Thank you

So you got a PCI wifi device now? It is normal for Bluetooth to show up on USB even if part of a PCI wifi Yes, sorry if you missed it. On the 1st page of this post, I wrote: "One reason I've been trying to find a fast usb wifi is because the built-in wifi on my MB had connectivity issues due t...

It's because of Long Term Support. Mint 21.3 is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which deliberately has older versions of packages. It is fixed for 2 years. It takes a while to understand the point of LTS, and get used to it. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is coming out soon, and it will have Wine 9.0. Mint 22 based o...

Hi all, I just installed 21.3 Mate & was going to install WINE in order to run a couple of M$ programs. In the software manager, there are 2 listed: v5.03 & v6.03. Yet when I go to WineHQ, the current stable version is v9. v5.03 says: "This package installs the stable version of WINE fr...

In between all of this, a lot going on at the house. Should I keep at this or look at getting another card? I found decent opinions on this one: Intel 7260 ac And this is the link to my current motherboard and the silly 1x slot I must use. If I get one that uses an entire slot, I lose my only 16x sl...

Just an immediate jump back to an empty prompt.

I finally managed to revert the kernel back to what it was at point of installing Mate 21.3, (5.15.0-101, active) but it made no difference, still no wifi using the driver provided by software manager & rebooting. I went ahead & tried "sudo apt install git dkms git clone https://github....

I tried installing the driver from software manager, but it didn't work. So, I decided to have a look in synaptic and did a reinstall. This was the output: (Reading database ... 665506 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../rtl8821ce-dkms_5.5.2.1-0ubuntu11~0.22.04.1_all....

No, it doesn't. Shows me the grub terminal, then boots direct to the current Mate.

now what?

How do I display & choose the kernel?

Boot into the 5.15 kernel, remove the 6.5 and see https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2452081#p2452081 How? did a search, said to hold shift, didn't work.

I now have 6.5.0-26 and no recognition of the 8821AE wifi installed in the motherboard in driver manager. I did run TS before I added this kernel. So, going by what people have said here, my next step is another TS and try the git with the 8821ce, even though that isn't my wifi. What are the steps u...

In worst case, you can still use Timeshift to rollback to your old snapshot, as long as you create one before trying. So you are safe to install the rtl8821ce-dkms module and test it out. But before testing that module, you may as well try installing a new 6.5 kernel through Update Manager. What's ...
