Hello!
Im new to arch linux and endeavouros so i could need some help pls to set up my wifi. Could someone guide me step to step pls how to do it?
In my notebook there is this wifi card: RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network
Everything else is working out of the box i think.
Cheers
Install
yay -S rtw88-dkms-git
Then reboot
Make sure kernel headers are installed
Just in case
sudo pacman -Syu linux-headers

thank you! i did exactly what uve told me but its not working.
What could i do?
modprobe: FATAL: Module rtw8821ce not found in directory /lib/modules/5.7.11-arch1-1
seems like i did something wrong…
It is not installed
Try installing again
librewish:
yay -S rtw88-dkms-git
is there anything i need to press at the end? or can i just close the terminal?
I have tried rtw88-dkms-git. It doesn’t work well with 2.4 GHz networks or weak signals. The alternative rtl8821ce-dkms-git driver works better for my laptop.
yay -S rtl8821ce-dkms-git
@Inzingor
You should be using the rtl8821ce-dkms-git as @anon22434355 suggests. This is the correct module for that chip.
thanks to everyone now my wifi works fine
using the alternative driver!
cheers

is there a way to use this wifi card with 5.7 zen kernel?
depmod 5.7.11-zen1-1-zen
==> Unable to install module rtl8821ce/1.0.5.r100.g18c1f60 for kernel 5.7.11-arch1-1: Missing kernel modules tree.

Are you using the rtl8821ce-dkms-git version? You probably need to install the linux-zen-headers.
using this one from ben…
sudo pacman -Syu linux-zen-headers
right? i rebooted and its working anyway dont know why
zen headers are already installed - ok so it should be ok then when its working ^^
