Hi all,
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 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 Memory at e1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] #80 [0000] Capabilities: [80] #00 [0000]

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

So, how / where do I get the drivers for this card?

Luckily, you just showed the vendor:device ID pairing of your card by the above command (168c:0023). You can confirm this by this one-liner:
for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done
Using the pair, I see:
$ grep -i 168c /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 0023 /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k
Looks like the ath9k driver in the kernel supports your device. For more details, please see #4 of ELRepo FAQ:

Hi Akemi,
I'm not sure this is the correct driver.
[root@intranet ~]# /sbin/lspci | grep -i net 01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) 01:01.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 10) 01:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

[root@intranet ~]# /sbin/lspci -n | grep '01:00.0' 01:00.0 0280: 168c:0023 (rev 01)
Acording to this output, I should see if "168c:0023" exists in http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs, which it doesn't.

This page http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATH9K.html points to ath9k "vendor: 168c ("Atheros Communications Inc."), device: 0023 ("AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter")"

Hi Rudi,
Please take a look at the FAQ once again. It says, "By using the Vendor & Device numbers from an ID pairing, you can check to see if your system contains an appropriate driver module for that particular device" and gives you a command to run.
In my previous post, I gave you an example output from that command run on my CentOS 5.5 box. It showed that ath9k is *included* in the current [CentOS] kernel.
