Wifi not recognized after update

AArcesilaoII · Jul 4, 2019

I re-installed Linux and it gave me those message, are they worth something?

(1/1) reinstalling linux

Updating module dependencies. Please wait ...

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
