dkms status not working, can't remove duplicate driver + other issues with drivers (Manjaro kernel 5.7)

I am using Manjaro Linux with Kernel 5.7.

I just went through about 3 days of trying to get my network card to work properly on kernel 5.9rc, however I have eventually resolved to regress back to kernel 5.7 and wait for the full release of 5.9.

The issue is, I had to uninstall my driver for my network card which was only compatible with 5.7, to attempt to get a different one to work on 5.9, but now, I'm back to 5.7, and I cannot use my wireless network card. Whenever I check dkms status, the following error is outputted:

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.File: /var/lib/dkms/rtl8821ce/1.0.5.r101.g77ca48c/source/dkms.conf does not exist.

​

Whenever I try to uninstall this driver, with the command "sudo dkms remove rtl8821ce/1.0.5.r101.g77ca48c" as I have a later version and they are currently conflicting, I get the error:

Error! There is no instance of rtl8821ce 1.0.5.r101.g77ca48c for kernel 5.7.19-2-MANJARO (x86_64) located in the DKMS tree.

​

Additionally, to make things even worse, for some reason lspci -v is informing me that the only kernel module currently assigned to my network card is something called "8821ce", however this is only present here: /lib/modules/5.7.19-2-MANJARO/updates/dkms/8821ce.ko.xz

I really need to get my network card back running, and I have been trying to fix this for a while without any success. If it helps, my network card is the RTL8821CE. I managed to get drivers working before, and due to them having many bugs and frequently disconnecting, I tried to fix it, but ended up in a worse place than when I started.

If it helps, here is the relevant output of lspci -v:

01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter    DeviceName: Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 831a    Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 11, IOMMU group 7    I/O ports at f000 [disabled] [size=256]    Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K]    Capabilities: <access denied>Kernel modules: 8821ce

Thank you for reading all of this, I really hope I can find a solution for the multitude of problems I am facing with these drivers.

I have already tried using dpkg-reconfigure on the first issue, however it just outputs command not found.
