I hope someone can help me. I'm trying to setup a D-Link DWA-547 on
CentOS 5.5 x64 in console only mode, i.e. there's no X installed. The
Wiki article suggests using NetWork Manager, but since there's no X
installed on this server, it's not possible.
How do I go about installing this card?
Here's the output of lspci -v:
01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008
Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc Unknown device 3a6b

I can only point you in the right direction (sorry!). This is from
memory and from a setup that I've used on Fedora in the past so CentOS
_should_ be similar...
You have to install wpa_supplicant and the relevant configuration files are:
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wap_supplicant.conf
/etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth0

I already have it installed:<br>
<br>
[root@intranet ~]# rpm -qa | grep wpa<br>
wpa_supplicant-0.5.10-9.el5<br>
[root@intranet ~]# ll /etc/wpa_supplicant/<br>
total 4<br>
-rw------- 1 root root 107 Mar 31 06:58 wpa_supplicant.conf<br>
[root@intranet ~]# ll /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 391 Mar 31 06:58 /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But, I got no idea how to configure the card in console-only mode, i.e.
without X installed. <br>
<br>
<br>
[root@intranet ~]# iwconfig<br>
lo no wireless extensions.<br>
<br>
eth1 no wireless extensions.<br>
<br>
eth0 no wireless extensions.<br>
<br>
sit0 no wireless extensions.<br>
<br>
[root@intranet ~]# iwconfig wlan0<br>
wlan0 No such device<br>
<br>
[root@intranet ~]# ifconfig wlan0<br>
wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found<br>
<br>
