I have an ASUS EeePC 701 (with 2GB of RAM and an 8 GB card), on which I've installed CentOS on the hard-drive-plus-card. But it can't even use my eth0.
Anybody know what drivers (for wireless as well as ethernet cable) I need, and how/where to get ones to fit CentOS??
Run /sbin/lspci and find the hardware info for your wired / wireless device. Then search the CentOS wiki. For example, if you see "AR5007EG", there is a wiki page for that:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG
If you also see "Atheros", there is a good chance that you can find the latest driver that is available as the kernel module at the ElRepo repository ( http://elrepo.org ). For example, if your device requires the atl2 driver, you can install it by (after installing the repo):
yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-atl2
Hope this helps,
