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]
