Brand new install on Dell 3520 Inspiron. Everything went great except for the RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter driver. sys-net errors saying it can’t connect to the qrexec agent when it is selected as a device. Lots of people complaining about this on the Internet. I’m probably on my 10th hour trying to resolve. I found a supposed better alternative driver version (GitHub - tomaspinho/rtl8821ce) and I’m trying my best to follow those instructions. My question is, where should I do the new driver compiling? I’m assuming directly into sys-net? That seems logical to me, but when I try compiling the driver there I get many more errors and aborts then if I install into the Personal or Work qube.

It needs to be installed in sys-net, it’s the qube with access to the physical hardware.
It might be easier to compile the driver if the qube is an HVM, with the kernel provided by the qube. At least that has been my experince with compiling kernel drivers, Qubes OS VM kernel doesn’t always have matching kernel header files.
