Hi,

Michael Rohleder <mike <at> rohleder.de> skribis:

>> The AUR package says ‘with firmware’, which would be problematic if

My girlfriend's laptop has this chip, so I needed this to spread the
love of guix (to her already endless sea of love).

Im not sure about the naming, it could also be something like
rtl8821ce-driver-linux.

So far (2 days), it works very well.
