Hi experts,


beside Windows i'm tring to install Kali/Linux with a bootable USB stick on my new HP laptop (15s-fq0212ng (https://support.hp.com/de-de/product/hp-15s-fq0000-laptop-pc-series/28812014/document/c06514646#AbT0)).
The install procedure shows me that it can not find a fitting driver for my network device.
Unfortunately the laptop has no ethernet NIC with (port RJ45), so i can not connect to the internet with a cable.


There is a wifi card installed to the laptop (Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter [802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) and Bluetooth? 4.2, combined]).
In the list i found one similar sounding RTL8821ae, but it did'nt worked with it.

I've read the threads here and found some awesome guides to install the wifi card:

? https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?41131-How-do-I-install-my-internal-wifi-adapter-driver-on-a-lenovo-thinkpad-E570&highlight=RTL8821CE
? https://hotlein.de/wlan-treiber-realtek-rtl8821ce-unter-kali-linux-installieren/


But i guess for all guides there is a working internet connection needed to follow the instructions (commands: apt-get, git...).
I'm pretty new with linux and i have no clue how to install the driver offline due to the install process.
There was a option to pick the driver from a removable media (in my case only a USB device should work).


What i could see from the instructions the linux driver should be integrated in the following repositories:


https://github.com/endlessm/linux.git
https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/archive/master.zip


Unfortunately i don't know anything about github and how to export/compile the driver.


Many thanks for you help in advance.
