Right, there is an important difference. That is, the 'lspci -nn' command shows the device ID pairing. In this case it is [168c:0013] for your atheros adapter. If you remember, I made a *guess* early on that the driver might be ath5k. I could have found this info easily had I known the device IDs. Using the ID pairing 168c and 0013, I would run this command on my c7 system: $ grep -i 168c /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 0013 /lib/modules/3.10.0-123.8.1.el7.centos.plus.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath5k /lib/modules/3.16.1-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath5k This system has a CentOS kernel, CentOSPlus kernel and kernel-ml (from ELRepo). The output shows: (1) the device is supported by ath5k (2) ath5k is included in the centosplus kernel and kernel-ml but NOT in the centos distro kernel. Hope this info helps, Akemi
