This is wi-fi PCIex card ships only with windows drivers. Drivers from this repo doesn't work. OS: Fedora 35 Kernel: Linux fedora 5.17.11-200.fc35.x86_64

dkms status
rtl8821ce/v5.5.2_34066.20200325, 5.17.11-200.fc35.x86_64, x86_64: installed

What can I do with this card?

dubhater commented 2 years ago

The output of lspci -nn may be helpful.

hirenchhatbar commented 2 years ago

I'm using Manjaro Linux and the driver doesn't work for me as well, below is the output of above command:

This driver doesn't recognise the PCI ID 10ec:b821. Interesting. The Windows driver knows it, and it was added to the rtw88 driver too.

To test if this driver can handle your device:

sudo modprobe 8821ce
echo "10ec b821" | sudo tee /sys/module/8821ce/drivers/pci:rtl8821ce/new_id

If it works, you can make it more permanent. (The above won't survive a reboot.) Open the file os_dep/linux/pci_intf.c and find these lines:

        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xC821), .driver_data = RTL8821C},
        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xC82A), .driver_data = RTL8821C},
        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xC82B), .driver_data = RTL8821C},

And add one more:

        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xB821), .driver_data = RTL8821C}, // <<< this one
        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xC821), .driver_data = RTL8821C},
        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xC82A), .driver_data = RTL8821C},
        {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xC82B), .driver_data = RTL8821C},

Then recompile, reinstall, reboot.

@dubhater I tried, seems like not working:

sudo modprobe 8821ce

It didn't give any output, it just run.

echo "10ec b821" | sudo tee /sys/module/8821ce/drivers/pci:rtl8821ce/new_id

tee: '/sys/module/8821ce/drivers/pci:rtl8821ce/new_id': Invalid argument

So, it seems like echoing id with new_id file failed(?)

Output of few more commands if that helps you figuring this out:

If you need anything more my side, please let me know.

Thank you for taking time.

@dubhater JFYI, /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor resume=UUID=7542b867-0dc4-482d-86d9-9023e1397a07 udev.log_priority=3"
dubhater commented 2 years ago

Yeah, I got the same error now that I tried it. I don't know what's up with that. The instruction comes from the kernel documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci

Just edit os_dep/linux/pci_intf.c and recompile the driver. It will probably work.

hirenchhatbar commented 2 years ago

@dubhater It worked flawlessly, thank you very much.

That one line change in os_dep/linux/pci_intf.c, remove driver, recompile, install and reboot did the job for me and really made my day - I can forget RJ45 :smile:.

Quite grateful for your prompt response and giving this a effort and time.

Feel free to close this for good.

Thank you again.
