Odd, not sure why that driver won't install. Maybe try the commands Larry posted before.

I was just reading this:
Kernel 5.13 has built-in rtl8821ce (rtw88_8821ce) driver. If you install kernel 5.13, you must remove rtl8821ce-dkms package after installation.

I was about to suggest maybe you remove & reinsert it. Worth a try anyway.

We might be able to cheat and see if the driver will work
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i 's/C821/B821/' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/8821ce.ko
sudo depmod -a
Reboot

first of all, "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/8821ce.ko" doesn't exist, however "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/8821ce.ko" does so i used that instead.
second of all, nope

Remove the rtl8821ce-dkms with sudo apt remove rtl8821ce-dkms
and I will work on a fix for you to test
