[CentOS] Wireless connection issue - athero 9300 pci wireless card
Hi all, I am new to CentOS. I built myself a desktop with an additional PCI wireless card 'TP-LInk WPN3800', which I have checked needs an ath9k driver. * **04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor* Following the wireless connection tutorial on CentOS wiki, I have both kernel-devel 2.6.6 and ath9k installed. Then I tried * $ modprobe ath9k *but nothing happened. Then I input *$ service NetworkManager start $ chkconfig NetworkManager on *to access the Network Manager and no wireless connection options appear. I do not think it is a big problem for you guys, but I am really a beginner. Please share me some solutions for that. Thank you!

The latest kernel is 2.6.32. I'm using the same drivers on my laptop and the package that I installed was kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.14-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 [0] http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php -- Kind Regards Earl Ramirez GPG Key: http://trinipino.com/PublicKey.asc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is CentOS 6.4 I have installed. And my kernel is 2.6.32 now. However, after finding some information about ath9k driver, it seems like elrepo currently does not support ath9k in CentOS 6.4. Can you tell me how did you fix that? Thank you any way.
