I'm having trouble getting WiFi working on **Pop!_OS 22.04** with a **Realtek RTL8822CE** card. It worked fine until recently but now:
- WiFi randomly disconnects
- Sometimes the WiFi option disappears from settings
-
lshw
shows it as **UNCLAIMED**

### Here is my system info
- **OS**: Pop!_OS 22.04
- **Kernel**: 6.12.10-76061203-generic
- **Wi-Fi Card**: Realtek RTL8822CE (03:00.0)
$ lspci | grep -i network
03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
$ sudo lshw -C network
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: RTL8822CE
vendor: Realtek Semiconductor
configuration: latency=0

### What I have tried
**Installing DKMS driver**:
sudo apt install rtl8821ce-dkms
But it fails with:
Building for 6.12.10-76061203-generic
Building initial module for 6.12.10-76061203-generic
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-6.12.10-76061203-generic is not supported
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.12.10-76061203-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8821ce/5.5.2.1/build/make.log for more information.
dpkg: error processing package rtl8821ce-dkms (--configure):
installed rtl8821ce-dkms package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
rtl8821ce-dkms
sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
If anyone has ideas (different drivers, kernel headers, workarounds, etc.), I’d really appreciate the help. Happy to provide more logs if needed.
