So let me see if I've got you right. You boot up CentOS 7 then connect a wireless device. Once the wireless device is connected you can not surf the web (or access the Internet at all). You've had a look at the traffic coming out of your wireless device and it's all destined to YUM repository(s). Is that right?

Are you sure that the YUM traffic is actually reaching it's detination (do you see traffic coming back)? Also how do you know that all your bandwidth is being used up?

thanks for reply.
no , i connected to wireless device and i see coming in network traffic with my whole bandwidth
and yeah i checked dest ip address and its right !
then i checked my traffic from my wireless monitoring and seems like 7 GB network traffic used by my client mac address so yeah its reached by yum !
and i know i found the problem !
my automatic problem reporting from selinux show a message like that :
yum process tried to change (update) the selinux and the necessary permissions was not set correctly for update ! , so i set that permission and now my monitoring looks like the problem has been solved !
but i,m not sure because many times the yum traffic starts at 1 or 2 hour later than i connected to the internet.
anyway ! if still the problem will be exist i,ll send an other post at this topic.
