    Hi folks

    I just installed Centos 5.5. I heard about the new changes in wifi support. I tried a USB wifi card from Netgear, and It works fine. It didn't en Centos 5.4, so that's great news.

    The problem is I have a Linksys WUSB54GC USB wifi card and I want to make it work.

    I get this messages in /var/log/messages as soon as I plug it in.

    I googled it but nothing re

  Hi,

  Didn't google enough... please try installing the firmware available from Elrepo for this card:

  http://elrepo.org/tiki/rt73usb-firmware

  Once done, if it still doesn't work provide a directory listing of /lib/firmware and any other error messages you get.
