Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : rtl8821ce Version : 5.5.2+git20261017.1f8ec40-1 Upstream Author : Realtek Semiconductor Corp. * URL : https://github.com/Smech-Labs/rtl8821ce * License : GPL-2, except two files containing embedded firmware microcode with no corresponding source form -- see debian/copyright. That's why this package targets non-free-firmware rather than main. Programming Lang : C (kernel module) Description : DKMS source for the Realtek RTL8821CE combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth driver
Realtek's out-of-tree driver for the RTL8821CE PCIe combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip, as used in a number of consumer laptops (including HP's 25x G8 series). The in-tree rtw88 driver only supports the Wi-Fi half of the chip; this driver additionally brings up Bluetooth. This is a fork of tomaspinho/rtl8821ce, archived by its upstream maintainer in 2026 with no successor, patched to build against current kernels (cfg80211 wireless_dev-based ops, strncpy() removal, removed AppleTalk structs). I'm new to Debian packaging (currently working toward NM), so this will be my first upload -- happy to take guidance from debian-mentors along the way.
