| Summary | 0000323: No internet method of using/installing RPMs/Drivers | ||||
| Description | A couple system I have been working with utilize Atheros NICs and they are not recognized by CentOS. ElRepo states using url's to update and download, but that is not possible without a NIC working. Could instructions be provided for those who have no working NICs. I was able to use my PC to get the RPM and put it to USB and install the RPM on my own, but now I don't know what is left to do, as there is no mention of doing it in such a process. Is the RPM install all that is needed, do I restart, do I have to tell CentOS what to use, how to use it, and where it is located? | ||||
| Additional Information | If it helps at all I had to use http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-atl1e I downloaded the i386 version from: http://elrepo.reloumirrors.net/elrepo/el6/i386/RPMS/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.14-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm | ||||

Sorry for the delay with this response. Assuming that you have a 32-bit CentOS 6 system and that the kmod-atl1e driver module is correct for that system, then an installation will consist of: (1) downloading the kmod package to any system with Internet connectivity (2) copying the package to some form of removable medium (i.e. USB memory stick) (3) physically take the removable medium to the target system (4) copy the package from the removable medium to the hard disk of the target system (5) install the package, as the superuser (root), with an 'rpm -ivh kmod-atl1e-*.rpm' command (6) as the superuser (root), invoke a 'modprobe atl1e' command and confirm that the driver has been loaded by examining the output returned by 'lsmod | grep atl1e' (7) as an ordinary user, configure the system to use the driver module by taking the 'System ==> Preferences ==> Network Connections' from the top left hand of the Gnome desktop. When requested, supply the superuser (root) password. For this new network connection, ensure that both boxes 'Connect automatically' and 'Available to all users' are selected. Please note that is is a bug reporting system and not a support venue. If you continue to have difficulties, please use either the CentOS fora (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/index.php) or the ELRepo Users' mailing list (http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/). |
