So maybe I am not typing this command correctly.
It is important to type commands precisely. There are spaces before the dashes in the commands I provided, thus: /sbin/ifconfig -a dmesg | tail -100 The first one is the path to the "ifconfig" command executable (/sbin/ifconfig) followed by the "-a" option (all). These are two words. The second is two commands: the "dmesg" command, which shows the kernel's message log and the "tail" command, which show the last few lines of a file. By piping (the "|" symbol) "dmesg" output into the input of "tail", and using tail's -100 option, we see the last 100 lines of the dmesg. | I opened a second Terminal plug in an adapter, wait several minutes type dmesg | tail-100 ...I get again command not found. I then type /sbin/ifconfig-a ...this time I get the following | bash: /sbin/ifconfig-a: No such file or directory. I am at the root level when I am giving these commands. Spaces. There is no "ifconfig-a" command. You need the "ifconfig" command, then a space and the "-a" option. | It really seems that Centos does not see the adapter. Try the command with more precision. I will be _very_ surprised if the kernel does not see you plug the adapter in, even if it has not got a drive for the particular device; it should see the USB activity.
