05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR2413/AR2414 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5005G(S) 802.11bg] (rev 01)
…was no work out of the box. Ethernet was sufficient since my computer is located near the router. My D-Link DWA-1320 wireless PCI card has been a champ ever since I’ve owned it. Its handled everything from XP, to Win7, to OS X SL, multiple versions of Ubuntu and Debian.. but oddly enough was not ready out of the box with CentOS. I was determined, did a bit of Googling and viola! Found the driver in a package in the ELRepo.org repository. Installed the ‘kmod-ath5k’ package, restarted, and wireless worked!
Thanks ELRepo.org!
