2. Based on the above output, the Driver information is queried in the http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB.

3. install required software:

$ yum install gcc automake autoconf kernel-headers kernel-devel -y

4. DownloadCompat-wireless-3.3-1.tar.bz2Pack, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable.

Since the current server does not have internet connection, I will need to download the driver into my local PC and transfer to the server using USB hard drive. I then copy the package/RootDirectory in the destination server.

5. decompress and compile

$ cd /root$ tar -xjzf compat-wireless-3.3-1.tar.bz2$ cd compat-wireless-*$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc$ make$ make install

6. In addition, we need to download the corresponding firmware.

$ cd /lib/firmware$ wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/htc_7010.fw

$ init 6

7. restart Machine
