Wifi Driver Issue

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

I recently switched from Windows 11 to EndeavourOS. A few days ago, I tried Fedora and my Wifi driver was functioning perfectly. I now have tried EndeavourOS and my Wifi driver worked during installation (online method) after installation it worked for a while and all of a sudden just kept failing to connect. I can see available Wifi networks so I know the backend is working however when trying to connect to any network GNOME tells me “Connection failed” and then Wifi icon disappears for a while.

Ideally I want to be able to go on the internet and do things without any problems. I have thought about trying to grab the Wifi drivers that Fedora is using and install them onto EoS however I don’t see anywhere online on how to do that.

I’m new to daily driving Linux and I am not fully knowledgeable on Linux commands yet so any help would be grand.

After running the command

sudo lspci | grep Network

My driver is:

“Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter”

After having issues, I plugged in my Wifi Adapter dongle to try to install the driver: https://github.com/juanro49/rtl88x2ce-dkms as some online sites recommended it, however it did not make any difference.

I solved the problem by installing the:

realtek-firmware

Package.
