hi, i'm woo, I'm a newer to CentOS. I installed my CentOS5.3(2.6.18-128.el5) in VMware. And my wireless card is MERCURY 54U(Atheros AR5xxx).I plugged the USB card into my virtual machine, but it couldn't be found. I've tried two drivers in different time: 1)install ath5k: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@wulmcent ~]# lsmod |grep ath5k [root@wulmcent ~]# modprobe ath5k [root@wulmcent ~]# lsmod |grep ath5k ath5k 97001 0 mac80211 137545 1 ath5k cfg80211 30793 2 ath5k,mac80211 [root@wulmcent ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:F5:3D:F3 inet addr:172.3.0.5 Bcast:172.3.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fef5:3df3/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:16417 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1434 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1311085 (1.2 MiB) TX bytes:211106 (206.1 KiB) Interrupt:67 Base address:0x2000
