Any output for lsmod | grep 8821
?
Still trying to get some error info, see if sudo journalctl | grep Network
shows any errors.
Wifi not recognized after update
- Edited
Ok, the first one doesn't give anything
for sudo journalctl | grep Network

Means "inexistent on the object of the path"
Still nothing wrong in the logs, are you trying to connect with Wifi during this session/boot or have you switched to ethernet?
I switched to Ethernet.
It worked until last night when I updated it, I turned off the notebook and when I turned it on today, it was this way.
Logs won't show anything wrong, if you use ethernet, the -b
switch in the journalctl call means only output since last reboot
Though what I find everywhere is that the card you list in the first post is not supported in linux, so I do not understand how it ever worked.
To test changes in the kernel only, you can revert back to linux 5.0.9 if that is still in your cache and you have no modules depending on linux, check with pacman -Qi linux
, look for the required by
line. If you don't use nvidia or virtualbox, you can sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-5.0.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Oh God, do I have to test it without using ethernet?
For logs, yes you will have to use the Wifi device. To downgrade, no.

I can't either downgrade it, is there something else I can do?
Please make sure to get logs with actual errors, all you show so far is all perfectly working, repeat logs as I asked before, when you disable ethernet, also make sure to read https://kaosx.us/docs to give helpful info.
ArcesilaoII I can't either downgrade it
What does that mean? Downgrading can always be done, just a matter of wanting to.

SOLVED
I found the solution here [on a Ubuntu forum][1]
Those were the passages
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
cd rtl8821ce/
sudo make all
sudo modprobe -a 8821ce

As expected, the kernel did not have the needed module, you must have done this before.....
Please post the output ls /lib/modules
But this is not the proper solution. As you now already noted, you forget about installing packages. Never install any outside of the package manager, you will end up with untracked files you don't remember where they came from, always use PKGBUILD/makepkg to install any.
https://kaosx.us/docs/package/
Example of a PKGBUILD for another RTL wifi module:
https://github.com/KaOSx/main/blob/master/rtl8192eu/PKGBUILD
With kernel modules like these you have to rebuild it on any kernel update, see the history for the above mentioned module
I apologize for the huge delay in the answer
ls /lib/modules
5.0.9-1/ 5.1.14-1-next/ 5.1.15-1/ extramodules-5.1/ extramodules-5.1-next/
As you show, you did this before, and now have a bunch of untracked files. The manual installs did not take care of the fact that there are no longer kernels available for 5.0.9 & 5.1.14 next in KaOS.
Make sure to follow the info from my previous post and let pacman/makepkg do the installing & tracking of any you add.
I have to be honest, I'm not undestanding anything of this or how to create a package or how to track files.
I would have preferred a way to keep this things at a central level, and not at my basic user level
