Thank you very much for your efforts! I have now three different laptops of two different brands using this module. Is there any chance of getting it into the mainline?

Hello, I can't install the package from the repository

Please do not use my "big" Repo, for Hardware use: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Sauerland:hardware

You have to install the kmp and the blacklist package or as alternative only rtw88kmp-xxxxxxx.

But I do not know, if that will be working with the "new" kernel from SLE in Leap 15.3.

I am working on it.

it is working with my Leap15.3-Update Repo.

Thanks you. It works with hardware repo ? or the other repo?

Both drivers (rtl8821ce and rtw88) are working:

Thank you! Great job!

On the website, instruction for Leap 15.3 Update are :

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:Sauerland:hardware/openSUSE_Leap_15.3_Update/home:Sauerland:hardware.repo

zypper refresh

zypper install rtl8821ce

but for the last :

zypper install rtl8821ce

Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

'rtl8821ce' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.

No provider of 'rtl8821ce' found.

Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

Use your TAB-Key?

rtl8821ce is not a working name of an rpm.......

Maybe you should search before you install?

I understand that the command line on software.opensuse.org is false to install manually the package. Thank you

Hello I added "https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:Sauerland:hardware/openSUSE_Leap_15.3_Update/home:Sauerland:hardware.repo" as repo and try to install

• rtl8821ce-kmp-default and
• rtl8821ce-blacklist-rtw_8821ce correct? I get the missing packages
• "ksym(default:module_layout) = 20574e54" (two times)
• "ksym(preempt:module_layout) = 52f0075"

same if I want to install rtw88-kmp-default

It is a fresh install what did I wrong?

"ksym(default:module_layout) = 20574e54" (two times)

"ksym(preempt:module_layout) = 52f0075"

zypper is writing 2 Solutions for that, use the second one by "breaking rtl8821ce" or so.

I do not know, why that will be done.

Ok thank you for the fast response and the clarification. I installed the two packages but the adapter wont be discovered. Do I have to perform additional actions? Also the rtw88-kmp-default does not work (I had to do the same setting because of the missing packages error)

I have a fresh install of Leap 15.2 and it wont be a deal for me to switch to 15.3 will this maybe help?

Thank you for your efforts!

1.You have to disable secure boot in Bios/uefi

2.The rtl8821ce-kmp must match to the installed and running kernel: default-default or preempt-preempt.

Please ask on the official opensuse-forums for help:

forums.opensuse.org

Carefull if you want to use this driver. The on board keyboard and touchpad wont work anymore.

Please do not write such nonsense here, open a thread in forums.opensuse.org.

Driver is working on my Laptop.
