driver

[chuck_davis]

I will explain best i can. I have Windows 10 main OS and WiFi works fine on it. I have Linux Mint on a USB to try out but WIFI will not work in Linux Mint i cant do updates or anything without WIFI. I looked Windows is RTL8821ce-dkms WIFI driver it appears to me this driver isnt installed in Linux Mint. Where can i download this driver to a USB and maybe put it on Linux. If there is an easier way to do this it will help me. I can use the terminal if needed. Iam lost on what to do. I have tried many things i got online, none have worked. Thank,s Chuck

That was me i have Linux Mint on virtual box now and it works fine, but i preffer Linux Mint on my USB, virtual box is ok but its not like Linux on a USB theres so much more you can do. I have fought with this WIFI problem on Linux iam about to stick with Linux on virtual box and my main os Windows. Thank,s Chuck

Here,s what i got so far, i have RTL8821ce in Linux Mint download folder, i extracted it. I have no clue what to do next though.
I have had Linux a long time i can use terminal ok but iam lost on the rest on what to do. I have used Linux for email and search thats it. Right now i have no Linux Wifi on my USB. Thank,s Chuck

open a terminal and run this command, then copy and paste the output into your next post:
inxi -Fz
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; rfkill list
mokutil --sb-state

It’s most likely a Broadcom driver, which requires fwcutter.

Please run the above commands that Rustys posted so I can better look at it.

I run the commands i got for Linux i new since i didnt have WIFI on Linux i figured i would just load them to a USB then give you what the Linux commands to you off my Windows laptop well they didnt work at all. You will have to go from my Windows screenshots. I hope these screenshots will help. Thanks Chuck

[jmarket]

The commands above are for Linux only. They won’t work in Windows.

Are you able to take screenshots inside of Linux and copy them over to USB? Or just copy the output into a txt file and copy it over to USB?

[jmarket]

OK so that does use a Broadcom chip. There’s a Youtube video here that’ll work (You’ll need a hardwired connection to install the driver)

I tried that with no luck, I really thought i could put them on a USB, but i cant. Hard wire isnt possible, iam in a nursing home all they have is WIFI. Thank,s Chuck

Then save the information to the computers HDD.

Then next time that you are on Windows post the file.
