Updated to CentOS 7.4 No wifi. The wifi was using wl-something driver that had third party firmware but it wasn't seen. Attempted to get network with ethernet from the mobo to router but it wouldn't come up. So I rebuilt the wl-whatever kernel module and installed the updated version built against the newer kernel. Now when attempting to boot it gets stuck at "i8042 no controller found" and stops. That message is always there, either lack of serial port or lack of PS/2 ports - I forget - but the boot now hangs there. It's caused by the wl-whatever kmod update I tried trying to get network back, but I can't remove that rpm if I can't boot. Help. -- -=- Sent my from my laptop, may not be able to respond timely

I got in and removed that kmod and got it booted. Now I have to figure it out why it won't connect via ethernet even though its set to DHCP and should. Seems every major CentOS update changes the network stuff in a way that causes headaches. That's probably just my frustration speaking but that's what it feels like.
