Install Realtek RTL8821CE Driver on Ubuntu

Realtek RTL8821CE driver currently isn't included in default Ubuntu installation. If you have a laptop with that WLAN card, you have to install it manually. Thanks to Linux community, there is already a Linux firmware to RTL8821CE WLAN card. Here are the steps to install RTL8821CE WLAN driver on any Ubuntu-based distro. 1. Disable Secure Boot Some said it isn't mandatory to disable secure boot. But in my case, I have to disable secure boot to make the driver works properly. Go to your laptop BIOS setup, and go to Boot menu. You will find an option to disable secure boot. 2. Install the Dependencies sudo apt install bc module-assistant build-essential dkms 3. Download the Firware Go to https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce and download the master firmware. Select Clone or download -> Download ZIP. 4.
