Server connects to wifi internet but there's no wifi adapter in the config/settings (rtl8821ce)

I’m seeing a lot of "wifi connects, but no internet" questions. Mine is the opposite "there is internet, but doesn’t connect" 🙂

Well, obviously connects somehow, since there is net. The issue is that I do not see the wifi adapter in the settings.

I’ve read on other posts that for this adapter (rtl8821ce) there are no official drivers so I’ve installed whatever I found by myself, hoping that the adapter/wifi will eventually show up in the settings.

my drivers

If it matters, the pc connected to the internet even without my additional drivers. The only issue is that the connection does not show.

no wifi showing

Using the wireless-info script, this is what I got:

########## wireless info END ############

In conclusion, is there a way for Ubuntu 22.04 to detect this card properly and display the connection and its settings?

Asked By: Johnny Bravo

Your netplan file suggests that you will manually configure networking and wireless is missing entirely. You wish, however, for Network Manager to configure networking and include wireless. From the terminal, please do:

cd /etc/netplan
sudo rm 00-installer-config.yaml

Next, write a new file:

sudo nano 01-network-manager-all.yaml

Write the following:

# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

Netplan is very specific about indentation, spacing, etc., so proofread carefully twice. Save (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and exit (Ctrl+x). Follow with:

sudo netplan generate
sudo netplan apply

Reboot. Is there any improvement?
