[CentOS] CentOS 7 does not pick up my atheros wireless

Greetings everyone.

I just had to remove the base kernel, and install kernel-plus, then restart.

i.e. "yum -y remove kernel* && yum -y install kernel-plus*"

I now see the wireless-n card in ifconfig -a :

wlp8s5: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether 00:1b:2f:37:02:46  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

Thanks again.


Respectfully,

Greetings everyone.

I the output of lspci -nn | grep -i eth is identical to lspci |grep AR which has already been listed.

>From my understanding, I need ath5k, and I do in fact require centosplus kernel.

I have attempted to update to centosplus kernel by doing the following:

run vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
and add the following to it

[centosplus]
enabled=1
includepkgs=kernel*

However, this only made kernel-plus packages avaialable, and none of which provide nl80211 or ath5k resources.

Can some current directions be listed on how I am supposed to get the centosplus kernel?

I suspect the driver your device uses is one of those removed from
CentOS-7. To find out if this is the case, we need to know the device
ID pairing. Please show us the output from:

lspci -nn | grep -i eth

The driver could be ath5k. If so, you are in luck. The centosplus
kernel has that driver. But we will see..
