Post by Giapa »

I downloaded yesterday the rtl8821ce drivers and they were working fine . Today when I opened my laptop,I wouldn't recognise them .I tried removing them and downloading them again but this didn't work .This is the first linux distro I am using and i have now idea how to fix this issue . I haven't seen anywhere drivers stop working suddenly
