wlan module not detected?
by Rosika from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TFMV)
Hi altogether,
Im currently trying to setup BodhiLinux for a friend of mine. She has a laptop (HP 15-db0400ng) which originally came with WIN10.
I could manage to create a bootable BodhiLinux-DVD and was able to boot into that OS. So far so good.
From that running live-system I wanted to install BodhiLinux but couldnt as I wasnt able to connect via WLAN.
For some reason Bodhi didnt seem to detect the built-in WLAN.
I found out that its the Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) Wi-Fi(R) und Bluetooth(R) 4.2 combined
(https://support.hp.com/de-de/document/c06067315#AbT0 ).
Neither is it possible to connect via a network cable. The problem is: my friend cannot find any ethernet cable despite the fact that she really should have one.
Is it possible that Bodhi doesnt detect the WLAN module for some reason? Or must WLAN functionality be activated somehow beforehand?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Greetings.
