my wifi dose not work i tried to install the driver but failed i have the rtl8821ce and i have tried everything to get it to work is there an easy way to get this card to work thanks.
Is the package kernel-firmware installed?
AFAIK a separate driver install should not be necessary.
Naturally,
Without a network connection is necessary to get latest packages.
So, your Tumbleweed ISO must be as late as possible, an old ISO <might> have problems.
Else,
use a wired connection for your initial install, and hopefully then your wireless will work when you boot up.
TSU
it is not in the kernel it is proprietary and i tryed that already have the latest updates

this is what i got
There is no rtl8821ce installed…
And this is not inside the Kernel.
Maybe you can use my build:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/hardware/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/
Here on Leap 15.1 it is working, also the Bluetooth kmp that’s also inside the Repo.
thanks but how can i install the .rpm without discoverer it is crashing as of currently when i open it.
As root:
zypper in /path/to/the/rpm/xxxx.yyy.rpm
And you can use the TAB-Completion.
Don’t use Discover, IME it’s not reliable on TW, apart from not starting atm. The best you can do is learn to use zypper in a terminal window.
i installed the .rpm package that i was told to install via zypper and it installed with no problems but i still dont have wifi
Post:
uname -a
zypper se -si kernel rtl8821
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net
lsusb
rfkill list all
And think of that:
Only
zypper dup
in Terminal will update your System, nothing else will do so.

ok so apparently the driver is in the firmware and kernel im on sooooo why wont it work…
ok so apparently the driver is in the firmware and kernel im on sooooo why wont it work…
As I said, the driver is not in the Kernel and this Wireless Network Controller does not need any Firmware.
It only needs the Driver as posted a few days ago.
Download it and install it.
Or try the github:
https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
A question besides this:
Why do you need the r8168 driver and do not use the Kernel-build-in driver r8169 for your LAN-Card?
Kernel driver in use: r8168
I hope you know what you are doing.
those are the drivers that came with my OS man i dident install them otherwise BUT i tried useing this
Download driver directory from this repo:https://github.com/endlessm/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8821ce
You can do it by this link: https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/endlessm/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8821ce
Unpack zip archive.
Change the Makefile. Line “export TopDIR ?= …” to export “TopDIR ?= PATH TO EXTRACTED DIRECTORY”.
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -a 8821ce
when i try to make it i get errors like

now what?
also someone said it was a bug and i tried this method
"Other Method to force WIFI
1.Yast>System>Network Settings>Global Options>Network Setup Method>Wicked Service>OK>This is the bug we have after a fresh install. No WiFI at all.
2.Yast>System>NetworkSettings>Global Options>Network Setup Method>NetworkManager Service>OK> Bug Fix, same as the installer.
"
and once i do step two to “fix” it it just says error no network running???
Do you understand what I have written?
Without an Driver your Wifi will not work.
If you have Internet with your Lan-card, you can add my Repo:
zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/hardware/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ rtl8821ce-repo
Now you can install the driver:
zypper in rtl8821ce-kmp-default
If you need Bluetooth you have to install the Bluetooth-kmp:
zypper in rtl8821ce_bt-kmp-default
Update of Tumbleweed will also update my drivers in that Repo automatically after a short time…
