Michal,

My rtl8822ce works fine with 5.10.0-rc1 and 5.9.1 from openSUSE TW.

I didn't try 5.10.0-rc1 yet.
I suspect some kind of deep sleep mode that seems to survive hard reboot.
I'm on a laptop where I can't remove the battery and I don't have a double
boot to Windows to make a test.
As additionnal context, before kernel 5.9.1, I was using the rtl8821ce driver
for openSUSE TW which packages the driver from the tomaspinho github repo:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:Sauerland/rtl8821ce/rtl8821ce.spec?expand=0

And my wifi was working perfectly fine.

Since then I tried to blacklist the rtw_8821ce driver and use the rtl8821ce
driver compiled for 5.9.1 and the behaviour is exactly the same: no wifi
either when the rtl8821ce is loaded by the kernel.

Use the following to try the 5.10.0-rc1 kernel:

sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard \ KOTD
sudo zypper dist-upgrade --allow-vendor-change --from kernel-repo
sudo zypper install kernel-default-5.10.rc1-3.1.g91029f0.x86_64

One warning: This kernel will not work with VirtualBox. There is one incompatibility with 5.10 that I still have to solve.
