Re: [MBZ] OT: Activating wireless service on CentOS 7 / MATE
Unfortunately Red Hat 7 changed *everything* Network checks are now done through the Network Manager. So command calls start with nmcli. *nmcli connection modify wlan0 help* Also, ifconfig has been deprecated since Red Hat 6 and in 7 I believe it is just a symlink to the net ip command. *ip addr help* A good starting resource is here: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1189123 and lists most common administrator functions and how they are called in RHEL 5, 6, and 7.

I am not familiar with RedHat ways... Try "ip link show", or "ifconfig -a" That should show all the interfaces that the system knows about. On Debian, the Wi-Fi will be listed as "wlan0", "wlan1" and the wired "eth0", "eth1", etc. If it's not listed, then it is probably missing the needed kernel module. If it is listed, then the tools I'm familiar with are iwlist, iwconfig, wpa_supplicant, ifconfig (been replaced by "ip" in systemd). ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scan iwconfig wlan0 essid "My WiFi" mode managed ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 or dhclient -v wlan0 There are GUI tools, but I can't give advise on any of them... ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT: Activating wireless service on CentOS 7 / MATE
Though, I gotta ask, why CEntOS? Are you running it in an Enterprise / Production environment? I mean, if you are that's great. Red Hat work pays for my bacon. But otherwise, the stability comes at the cost of newer technologies that most home / laptop users would want. Fedora / Ubuntu would be a better choice from that perspective.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Activating wireless service on CentOS 7 / MATE
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7 / CEntOS7) has a very good WiFi interface. As long as you installed the appropriate packages, it should recognize the wireless nic and ask you to walk through setup.

There are several choices, I've never used CentOS but have used frisbee on several distros, it's pretty easy and understandable.

[MBZ] OT: Activating wireless service on CentOS 7 / MATE
So I finally put CentOS 7 on our laptop and then added MATE for a graphical user interface. I have been using it with a hardwired Internet connection, but I now need to get it working with a wireless connection. Any suggestions on how I do that?
