Install a wireless NIC Driver in centos

After installing centos, we found that the wireless NIC Driver could not be used, while the lab was in a wireless environment. Therefore, we installed the driver!

 

My Nic is atheros ar5007eg and kernel version 2.6.27.33. I found a method online and shared it as follows:
 
Download madwifi
Madwifi is a third-party atheros driver. It is enough to deal with 5007!
 
Compile and install
You must first install the kernel header file, which is generally a package such as kernel-devel.Source code.
(SUDO is not required for root login)
$ Sudo Yum install kernel-devel.i686
$ Tar zxf./madwifi-*** .tar.gz
$ Cd./madwifi -***
$ Kernelpath =/usr/src/kernel **/make
$ Sudo make install
$ Sudo modprobe ath_pci if it is the kernel header file installed from package management, you do not need to set kernelpath for make! (I don't understand this step)

 

Now I can activate the NIC. I wish you success.
