~~Computer has problems again~~

After upgrading to Ubuntu 19.04, I found that the previous driver installation method is no longer valid due to kernel updates, so I went searching for a new installation method.

Installation#

sudo apt install dkms git -y
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
cd rtl8821ce

Note: You will need to disconnect from the internet afterwards. I simply turned off the network service.

./dkms-install.sh

After installation, load the module

sudo modprobe 8821ce

Done!
