slimline is an HP Slimline Desktop - 290-p0014 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz Coffee Lake (Core i7) Ethernet RTL8111/8168/8411 and RTL8125 2.5GbE Wi-Fi RTL8821CE I have disabled Ethernet interfaces so I could concentrate on my Wi-Fi issue The on board Wi-Fi is this, but it won't associate. rtw880@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0xc821 subvendor=0x103c subdevice=0x831a vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter' class = network Inserting the USB dongle and making appropriate changes to rc.conf, this WiFi associates: ugen0.2: <A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8811AU] NetGear, Inc.> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA) There must be some slight deviation in this rtl8821ce implementation. I am unaware of any bugs on the bug list that indicate this issue. How can I help the developer find/fix this issue? This 'RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter' works under Linux Mint and KDE Neon.
