Re: [qubes-users] Realtek wifi adapter rtl8821ce
Hello Jayen, I have realtek wifi adapter in my lenovo laptop ideapad 330 15arr model. It > is not recognised by sys-net VM. I have a similar laptop to you (Ideapad 330S-15ARR). I was not able to compile the kernel module when using the Qubes provided virtual machine kernel. I switched sys-net to use the stock Fedora 29 kernel and I was able to install the driver successfully. Aside from that, the only other thing I had to do was manually run the command to upgrade grub when there is a kernel update in the template VM and I want to boot from it.

Can you suggest a supported wifi card which supports wireless AC standards and will work out-of-the box with Qubes OS R4.0? 1. Check your laptop manufacturer's website for a whitelist of wifi cards. Some only permit certain models. 2. If you don't require AC speed and it's compatible, suggest an Atheros 9300 series or newer (https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Atheros#AR9200.2FAR9500_series) which will handle up to N. Pick one that matches your MIMO config. Don't get 9200 series. Some have integrated BT, so you might want to avoid for security purposes. Search to make sure it's supported by the Linux ath9k driver. 3. Once you select a card, cross-reference the R4.0 reports at https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/#hardware-laptops and search this mailing list for reports. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

If you haven't already, try switching sys-net to use the debian-9 template. It might work with no extra effort.

The key is that since kernels are supplied by dom0, you can't just compile in a module in a template. An ugly way to make it work would be to clone debian-9 to a standalone VM, boot using its local kernel, compile in your module, then use that as your sys-net.
