Linksys WRT54G Ralink RT2500 Wireless - No modules.
Posted: 2015/01/21 18:58:32
Hello,
I'm very new to CentOS but I've used other Linux flavors in the past. I'm having an issue loading any sort of kernel module for my Linksys WMP54G adapter. I've follow the instructions here but haven't had any success. Here's what I've got so far:
Everything is command line. I do not have a gui.
ifconfig only shows my two ethernet adapters:
When attempting to yum the drivers from elRepo as instructed, I get:
In a make menuconfig of the kernel, I noticed module support for the rt2500 is not enabled. I was told rebuilding a kernel just for this support isn't necessary in CentOS 7 but I feel like it's what I would have done in other situations. modprobe doesn't recognize the module and I don't know what else to do. Is there simply no support left for the WMP54g card?
Thanks.
