RTL8821CE Driver

As of 2 Weeks I am using the new IdeaPad L340,

Most of the drivers were actually already implemented by default, big thanks to Arch! (Neither Manjaro, or any other distro had even the slimmest amount of drivers, I needed to use)

But my Wifi adapter did not find one.

After some research on my adapter RTL8821CE I stumbled upon an aur-package rtl8821ce-dkms-git

This got my adapter working, but I am wondering if this solution is the only solid one at the moment, or when there is a driver coming for the Wifi Module of the Lenovo L340 in the classic arch without any additional aur.

Would be glad to get some recommendations/tips

An upstream driver is on its way...

Re: RTL8821CE Driver

Very good! Thank you for the quick response.

When the driver is officially implemented, do I have to change anything?
