What to do if the Kali Linux installer does not see the laptop's network card?

Question

network hardware

I am installing Kali Linux on my PC for the first time (before that I did not work with Linux and therefore I do not understand it).

Here's the problem: the Kali installer couldn't find the network card of the laptop (Lenovo). I decided to look for the driver for my card in the list that the installer offered me, but I did not find it there.

Here is the name of the card: Realtek 8821CE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC.
I also tried to find a driver for this card for Linux on the Internet (unsuccessfully).
Can you suggest what to do in this situation?

Kali is not a distribution for beginners.
Stop doing nonsense and install Debian standard.

What if I find it?

Say "the whole world is a mess" and go back to minecraft...
Why do you need Kali? Why not bubunta, not debian? If you are not looking for easy ways - well, put a gent - there will be so much sekas that you will remember for a long time ...
