No Wifi, No Ethernet, No Internet!

Post by Sowards93 »

I am running Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 64 bit V2 on USB running in compatibility mode on a Lenovo 330SAR15.

No wireless extenstions are found. No wireless adapters are found. No ethernet port on my laptop.

I have been searching forums for a week now trying to fix the problem. I have entered MANY different commands to try to get it wifi working.

I have found out that I DO IN FACT have a wireless adapter. The card is RTL8821CE.

I figured maybe a problem with drivers but I can't download any drivers through the terminal to fix it.

I have access to my Windows SSD drive. Can I download what I need on Windows and then access it on linux to install the driver?

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks!

Is there a wifi switch on front or side or a keyboard icon (F key) that needs to be turned on? Right click the wifi icon lower right tray & enable wifi there.
