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. -- Ping-Ke
