+Realtek RTL8821CE Driver maintained by Tomás Pinho for Arch Linux.
+Still, can serve Slackers as well!
+
+NOTE:
+
+ Although the driver builds for kernel 4.4.x as found in -14.2,
+ I only tested it in the field on kernel 5.4.x as found in -current.
+ Also, upstream warns that the source is targeting kernels > 4.14.
+
+To build the package for a kernel different from the running one,
+start the script setting the KERNEL variable as in:
+
+ KERNEL=4.4.14 ./rtl8821ce.SlackBuild
+
+NOTE:
+
+1. If you experience problems using this driver (e.g. a non-working
+ WiFi or Bluetooth), visit project's homepage to learn about possible
+ solutions.
+2. If you want to use this driver on -14.2, but with the kernel from
+ -current, you will need to compile the kernel yourself on -14.2.
+ Otherwise, you will run into compilation errors while building
+ the driver. I have no intent of fixing that, unless you provide me
+ with a working patch. ;-)
