Thanks Ping-Ke,

The Realtek Wifi 8821CE RFE Type 6 is used in a broad range of
embedded systems based on Intel Celeron J4125 SoCs. A popular example
is GK3 Mini PC, sold under a large number of brands, for example:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FTCPBHK/
These systems are rising in popularity in favor of laptops, as people
tend to stay at home and are looking for affordable upgrades.
Unfortunately, lack of Wifi Linux support is a major drawback.
Could you help to confirm following things:

1. Do you see "rfe 6 isn't supported" in kernel log?
   I want to confirm the type again.
2. If you boot this system into Windows 10, does the 8821CE work properly?
   If so, please give me its VID/PID of PCI.
3. Could I have the pictures of the module of both sides? 
   I would like to know the module marker; as well as antenna location.
