Hi,
Recently I've bought an HP Pavilion 590-p0008nl at which I've mounted a NILOX wireless PCI express card [1] because I wasn't able to see my WiFi Network.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 5.0.0-31-generic and this is the list of my network hardware:
Code:
sudo lshw -C network

I've tried to install the driver for RTL8821CE following the instructions described at https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce and even disabling the SecureBoot I can't use my WiFi [2]. I think that procedure doesn't work properly with kernel 5.*.
Why I can't use my wireless PCI card? Do you think there is any kind of conflict between drivers?
[1] I used this PCI card with my previous PC under Ubuntu 16.04.
[2] The WiFi is seen only for a couple of seconds as soon as I turn on the PC.
Thanks.
