Wifi on new HP 14 laptop

Post by Rocket »

Linux only on my desktop for 10 years (now on debian testing). Purchased new windows 10 HP laptop for travel. Immediately wiped out windows and installed Mint 20.1 Xfce. Install went great through ethernet on usb adapter. All working well except wifi. Mint thinks I need a rtl8822 ce-dkmr driver, so I installed it. No recognition of wifi in network settings. I know there is a way to get wifi working, but cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to disable secure boot in Bios.
