Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR54sx Wireless Network Adaptor
Re: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR54sx Wireless Network Adaptor
I'm wondering if a distro upgrade will preserve the driver?
Re: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR54sx Wireless Network Adaptor
kmod-ath5k is now available from elrepo. A change going from kernel 4.10 to 4.11 caused the driver compile to fail for the backported Centos kernel. Now fixed. Using CentOS 7 is far preferable to using CentOS 6 which, as TrevorH points out, will cease being supported next year (November 30th).
Re: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR54sx Wireless Network Adaptor
I haven't had much luck with the elrepo. It says the module is in the testing repo. http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/ I cant find it anywhere on there.
Assuming I follow, download and install https://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x8 ... noarch.rpm
Maybe a reboot and the Wifi card should work?
Sorry for the questions but I threw more teddies out the pram than I care to mention!

will add the elrepo repository, but wont install the driver you need, you also need to:Assuming I follow, download and install https://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x8 ... noarch.rpm
Code: Select all
yum install kmod-ath5k

Great. Thanks I'll give it a go. Many thanks
Re: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR54sx Wireless Network Adaptor
Thanks. Works a treat!
For reference I basically connected the laptop though LAN and then ran
sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.or ... elrepo.org
sudo yum -y install https://www.elrepo. ... noarch.rpm
sudo yum -y install kmod-ath5k
Rebooted and wifi now available and working!
