Greetings everyone.

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..
