rtl8821ce-dkms-git in kernel during install [SOLVED]

Hello everyone and I am sorry for bothering you, but I've been surfing the Internet from the very morning and found no answer.
I've got a huge issue with brand new HP Laptop 15s-eq1001ua, which uses the only available network interface -- rtl8821CE wifi adapter.
Of course, it doesn't works on live Arch installation media, because after a lot of searching I found out that there's no rtl8821CE support inside the kernel.
Is there any way to install Arch Linux despite this? Cuz I feel like I am very, very dumb... :-(
Thank you very much for your help!

Have you got a smartphone you can plug in and tether to your WiFi with?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

There actually is a kernel driver for that chipset, module is called rtw88_8821ce .
Comments on the aur page for rtl8821ce-dkms-git suggest it may not work with all variants of the 8821CE yet, but it's worth a try .

After booting the install iso run lsmod | grep rtw88 to verify if it is loaded.
If it isn't , try modprobing it manually .

Thank you very much! I borrowed a mobile phone from my wife and installed it as usual. You, guys, made me think that way. :-) Now I am having a great issue with Elantech touchpad, but I'll create another topic if won't find a solution. We can close this thread. Thank u once again! ;-)
