So, having found this page: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1449227/rtw-8821ce-firmware-failed-to-leave-lps-state I added a file to the modprobe config as indicated. I also created an entry in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d, specifically a file with contents --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [connection] wifi.powersave = 2 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and now the driver does not fail. Which of the changes made a difference is yet to be determined but, in any case, the WiFi interface is still not "managed" by NM. How do I tell NM to manage the WiFi?
