Hi, I'm thinking about updating the wireless card on a CentOS 5.3 box. The Wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless says that the "ath9k driver ships with CentOS", but I can't find it. I've tried modinfo, locate, yum search, and yum provides, but they all come up empty. Am I missing something, or is the Wiki need correcting? I've also searched the

Folks I've been trying to convert my systems to Centos 8, seeing the EOL on the horizon a few years away. One of my systems is a Mac-Mini, and support for that has been discontinued. I'm wondering what the community suggests among these alternatives: 1) Stay with Centos 7 even after EOL hoping market pressures will add Mac-Mini support 2) Spend a few hundred dollars on a small,
