Hi,
I'm thinking about updating the wireless card on a CentOS 5.3 box.
The Wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless says that the "ath9k driver ships with CentOS", but I can't find it. I've tried modinfo, locate, yum search, and yum provides, but they all come up empty. Am I missing something, or is the Wiki need correcting? I've also searched the CentOS forums and others share my confusion.
Thanks, Jim

I'm afraid the ath9k part of the wiki page is in error. The current CentOS kernel does not have this driver. You need a newer kernel as seen in this forum post:

A solution at this moment is to use ndiswrapper and detailed instructions were posted in the same thread:
