Wi-fi card not detected in MX Linux Xfce 21

[chris_on_linux]

Hello MX Linux forums,
I have just installed MX Linux on my HP Laptop and wi-fi is not working. It says no network devices were detected. My wi-fi card is realtek rtl8821ce. I have seen someone with the same problem but the solution given didn't help me. Does anybody speak greek by the way, that would help me a lot.
Thanks

(You can translate the whole page (it's in German) if your browser has such an option.. Or I'll post again for you...)

If you have no other connection (wired etc) then first download this then extract ... :

(maybe with the phone etc.. )

According to these posts in the LinuxMint forums:

you need a newer kernel than the stock 5.10 in MX 21.2.
It also would be a big help if you could give us the complete model name of your HP laptop in lieu of the Quick System Info output.
