Bug Description

Looks like rtl8821ce-dkms was dropped from Kinetic release (probably in favor of mainline rtw88 driver).
I'm afraid it was too early. Experience with rtw88 on Kinetic's kernel 5.19 is not good enough (unstable SSH connection, unstable download speed etc).
There's even report that built-in driver doesn't work with some devices (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1436565/ubuntu-22-10-rtl8821ce-no-longer-shows-up-in-additional-drivers)
Please continue packaging this driver until mainline driver gets better. Community repo for rtl8821ce-dkms is still alive and contains patches for newest kernels (https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/commits/master).
---
For now I've got package from 22.04 (5.5.2.1-0ubuntu10), applied some patches from aforementioned github repo and uploaded new package to the temporal/experimental PPA
https://launchpad.net/~xalt7x/+archive/ubuntu/rtl8821ce-dkms
From my limited testing with "AzureWave RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [1a3b:3040]" it works fine.
