Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 does not pick up my atheros wireless

Greetings everyone.

I just had to remove the base kernel, and install kernel-plus, then restart.

i.e. "yum -y remove kernel* && yum -y install kernel-plus*"

I now see the wireless-n card in ifconfig -a :

wlp8s5: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:1b:2f:37:02:46 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

Thanks again.

Respectfully,

Greetings everyone.

I the output of lspci -nn | grep -i eth is identical to lspci |grep AR which has already been listed.

From my understanding, I need ath5k, and I do in fact require centosplus kernel.

I have attempted to update to centosplus kernel by doing the following:

run vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add the following to it

[centosplus] enabled=1 includepkgs=kernel*

However, this only made kernel-plus packages avaialable, and none of which provide nl80211 or ath5k resources.

Can some current directions be listed on how I am supposed to get the centosplus kernel?

My recently installed CentOS 7 instance does not enable wireless via Network Manager or otherwise.

I have the following output from lspci:

lspci |grep AR 08:05.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5212/AR5213 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

I suspect the driver your device uses is one of those removed from CentOS-7. To find out if this is the case, we need to know the device ID pairing. Please show us the output from:

lspci -nn | grep -i eth

The driver could be ath5k. If so, you are in luck. The centosplus kernel has that driver. But we will see..
