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