Public bug reported: I'm running KDE Neon User Edition, fully updated. The rtl8821ce dkmn from the repository would not make a reliable connection so I used https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce to install it. Installing the 5.13.0-1029-oem kernel made the difference, making the connection strong and reliable. However, the logs are filling up with the following warning.
