It's unfortunate that the dkms driver for a network card was not included on
the image.  The intention of having dkms support in the install media is
that *all* network drivers in the archive be included (which in this case
would mean moving rtl8821ce to main).

I can't find anything confirming the ASUS L210 needs this driver.  The
driver declares support for exactly 3 PCI IDs:

  10EC:C821
  10EC:C82A
  10EC:C82B

But in any event, this dkms package has been dropped in kinetic and later as
obsoleted by upstream kernel support (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1993324);
so since the next 22.04 point release will use the HWE kernel from kinetic
and pick up the in-tree driver support, there seems no point in making any
changes here at this point.

In the future if you're aware of dkms packages for network drivers that
should be included on the media, please feel free to file bug reports
against either ubiquity or ubuntu-meta so we can make sure to include them.

Looking more closely the driver is in universe and as such is not
included on the installation media for Ubuntu so no additional testing
is required. Sorry about that!

Thanks,
