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.

  3. 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. ;)
