Hi Tom, Please see below, which was posted by Akemi earlier. "Please follow the note in this blog: http://elrepoproject.blogspot.com/2012/03/one-size-fits-all-compat-wireless-fits.html and determine if your device is supported by the kmod-compat-wireless package from ELRepo. If it is, then set up the elrepo repository by: yum install elrepo-release and install the latest version from the elrepo-testing repo (updated note at the bottom). For more info please see: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless and http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=301 Akemi" -- Kind Regards Earl Ramirez GPG Key: http://trinipino.com/PublicKey.asc
