Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz

Ethernet RTL8111/8168/8411 and RTL8125 2.5GbE
Wi-Fi RTL8821CE
I have disabled Ethernet interfaces so I could concentrate on my Wi-Fi issue
The on board Wi-Fi is this, but it won't associate.
rtw880@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec
device=0xc821 subvendor=0x103c subdevice=0x831a
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
device = 'RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter'
class = network
Inserting the USB dongle and making appropriate changes to rc.conf, this
WiFi associates:
ugen0.2: <A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8811AU] NetGear,
Inc.> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)
There must be some slight deviation in this rtl8821ce implementation. I
am unaware of any bugs on the bug list that indicate this issue.
How can I help the developer find/fix this issue?
This 'RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter' works under
Linux Mint and KDE Neon.
