RTL8821ce 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter (Sonoma)

The Realtek RTL8821CE wireless network adapter is not natively supported in macOS, including Sonoma. To get it working on your Hackintosh, you'll need to use third-party drivers or kexts (kernel extensions) specifically designed for this chipset.

Here are the general steps to install the necessary drivers for the RTL8821CE wireless adapter on a Hackintosh running macOS Sonoma:

1. Identify Your Exact Chipset: Make sure you have the correct chipset information (RTL8821CE). You can usually find this information in your motherboard's manual or by searching for your motherboard model online.

2. Search for Appropriate Kexts: Look for Hackintosh community forums or websites that provide custom kexts or drivers for the RTL8821CE chipset. Hackintosh communities often create and share kexts for various hardware components.

3. Install the Kext: Once you've found the appropriate kext, follow the installation instructions provided with it. This typically involves copying the kext to a specific directory and running commands in Terminal to rebuild the kext cache.

4. Reboot: After installing the kext, reboot your Hackintosh to apply the changes.

5. Configure Your Wi-Fi: Once your system is back up, you should see Wi-Fi options in your menu bar. Configure your Wi-Fi network settings and connect to your network.

Keep in mind that Wi-Fi compatibility can be challenging with Hackintosh systems, and the availability of kexts can vary. You may need to search for kexts specific to your motherboard or wireless card model.

Additionally, if you cannot find a suitable kext for your specific chipset, you might consider using a USB Wi-Fi adapter with native macOS support as an alternative.

Always exercise caution when installing third-party kexts and ensure that they are from reputable sources to avoid potential issues or security risks.
