Atheros AR8151 driver for CentOS

I just bought a Gateway ECN1301i laptop (o yeah!) and I just thought, I should install a CentOS Linux into it. But when the time I "lspci" and checked for network connection, I found out that both wired and wireless devices aren't installed yet.

I googled and search about for 4-5 painstakingly hours, and when I about just to give up... I almost forgot that this device is using the "atl1e" driver ->

Which was on my previous post. So heres the link -> http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/

kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.9-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

This will just saves you from compiling those linux driver available from atheros website.

    hi pau, I copied the atl1e to my home directory - but I don't know how to install the driver. Any advice?

    either you install it via double click and follow the steps.

    or fire up the terminal, run as root and type "rpm -Uvh kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.9-2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm" w/o the qoutes.

    then restart. ;)
