I installed Ubuntu on my brand new lenovo laptop:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
and now, I can not use my wifi. After I checked sudo lshw -C network
, I found that the network is UNCLAIMED
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: ioport:3000(size=256) memory:a1200000-a120ffff
Then I ran lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list
which gave me:
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:c821]
Subsystem: Lenovo RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [17aa:c024]
Kernel modules: rtw88_8821ce, rtl8821ce
I came across similar problem and the solution was to install the correct firmware, however that was for ubuntu 16.04 and I was also not sure whether I have the same problem.
Here is my kernel version, running uname -a
gave me:
Linux philgun-Lenovo-V15-IWL 5.13.0-27-generic #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 14 00:32:30 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
What should I do?
Thank you
