Hello!
I just got an HP 15S-EQ1019NS AMD Athlon Silver laptop after a few years with nothing at all and I’m a bit lost. Manjaro installed with minor glitches which just disappeared but I’m left with no way to connect to wifi.
I tried the solution listed in an ASUS thread:
yay rtl8821ce-dkms-git
I chose defaults (1) but get a bunch of 404s 
Any ideas?
Have a great day!
Marianne

So what are the errors you got exactly?
Hi!
Try activating the AUR repos in whatever package manager are you using. Update the repos, install kernel headers.
Like @Strit, I recommend to use the dkms version
Thank you both!!
I activated the AUR repositories and tried again with the driver. No errors this time but it’s not working either. It asks which kernel heards I want and I have no clue which ones are correct, so I just chose 1. Maybe that’s the problem? I have Manjaro Mikah, release 20.1
I’m a newbie and I’m having problems with hunters so sorry if I make stupid questions. My poor brain cell is dead tired.
which kernel do you have installed?
pls output from:
inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
or
uname -a
the driver install should work like this:
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S dkms linuxXX-headers
pamac build rtl8821ce-dkms-git
inxi or uname shows you which kernel to install / use
and change XX to your kernel-no. (e.g. linux58-headers)
after this…reboot 
Yeah. the kernel headers need to match the kernel you have installed.
Hello again! And thanks!
$ uname -a Linux marianne-hplaptop15seq1xxx 5.7.17-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 22 14:58:17 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
System: Kernel: 5.7.17-2-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.0
parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.7-x86_64 root=UUID=2c65f5a5-2b8c-4c58-ab89-489310a86c27 rw quiet apparmor=1
security=apparmor resume=UUID=13ccacf5-f006-4699-b76c-b5a9b39ebe6b udev.log_priority=3
and this is the choice of headers I get:
linux-headers:
:: Repositoriocore
1) linux414-headers 2) linux419-headers 3) linux44-headers 4) linux49-headers 5) linux54-headers 6) linux57-headers 7) linux58-headers 8) linux59-headers :: Repositoriocommunity
9) linux54-rt-headers 10) linux56-rt-headers
So… linux 57??
It appears to have worked just great. Thank you all for your explanations! 
Thank you very much! Exactly what I needed! Worked as a charm. Do I need to do every time I switch to a newer kernel?
occasionally the dkms package has to be recompiled (in the event of errors (pacman update) usually kernel update)
Should there be any errors, simply run the dkms package again
pamac update -a (all AUR update)
or
pamac build rtl8821ce-dkms-git (new rtl8821AUR build)
Stay hard…play smart … have a nice day 
I just want to say thank you! I had the same problem and now is working perfectly.
Funcionó perfecto, muchísimas gracias.
I worked perfwctly, thank you very much
