issues with inital setup

<< < (3/7) > >>

GNUser:
I suspect you have not loaded the extension that contains the necessary firmware.

What is the exact model of your wireless nic? This command may help (but requires lshw.tcz):


--- Code: ---sudo lshw -c network
--- End code ---

pixel:
this is what lshw says:

network: unclaimed
description: network controller
product: rtl8821ce 802.11ac pcie wireless network adapter
vendor: realtek semiconductor co. ltd
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33mhz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress cap_list
configuration latency=0
resources: ioport:e000(size=256) memory:a1100000-a110ffff

GNUser:
It seems your rtl8821ce adapter is being very finicky. It sounds like it is a wifi+bluetooth usb dongle, is that right?

I can't find firmware with exactly "rtl8821ce" anywhere in the filename, but I found rtl8821c_config.bin in the firmware-rtl_bt.tcz extension. Hopefully this is what you need.

I also found kernel module rtw88_8821ce.ko.gz in wireless-6.6.8-tinycore64.tcz. It sounds like you already downloaded this extension.

Try this:

--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wi wireless-6.6.8-tinycore64 firmware-rtl_bt wifi
$ sudo modprobe rtw88_8821ce

--- End code ---
Then unplug your dongle and plug it back in. Then try using the wifi extension.

pixel:
i'm not using a dongle, the wifi thingy is built into my laptop. wifi.sh still finds nothing and ifconfig remains unchanged.

heres all of my currently loaded extensions if that helps:

GNUser:
Hi pixel. It seems all the necessary extensions are loaded.

I only have two more ideas right now. Please add rfkill.tcz and iw.tcz to your loaded extensions.

To make sure your wireless nic isn't turned off at hardware level (e.g., by a physical on/off switch), please try this command:


--- Code: ---$ sudo rfkill list all

--- End code ---

And let's see the output of this:

--- Code: ---$ iw dev wlan0 info

--- End code ---

If neither command gives us clues, maybe other users can share their thoughts while we mull this over.

P.S. Have you used this wireless nic successfully before?
