[SOLVED] Wi-fi not working Asus VivoBook L410MA rtw_8821ce

I downloaded and installed Arch yesterday (archlinux-2021.06.01-x86_64.iso)

5.12.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 03 Jun 2021 11:36:13 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Whilst afaik the driver is loading, it doesn't appear to work, and I don't get an interface

[    3.545672] rtw_8821ce 0000:02:00.0: Firmware version 24.8.0, H2C version 12

I have seen similar reports in other places.  Has anyone had any success with this laptop?  Is it just a case of waiting for support to be implemented?  If so, is there any way to know if it's being worked on? I am using a USB wi-fi for now, but obviously would much prefer to use the onboard.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This seems to fit: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce … kernel--59.
Have a look at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8821ce-dkms-git/.
