Hi ElRepo,
Well, I'm confused. http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-ath9k_htc says:
"This package provides the ath9k_htc kernel module for the Atheros
AR7010/AR9271 series USB wireless network adapters. It is built to depend
upon the specific ABI provided by a range of releases of the same variant of
the Linux kernel and not on any one specific build."
Yet it is trying to force me to update my kernel within CentOS 6.x ...
Am I doing something wrong? (The firmware installed fine.) Should I just
shove it in with a --skip-broken? Is there an older package available for
older kernels? (although I thought not having to do that was the whole point
of using a kmod?) Is there another repo for Atheros AR9271 USB pre-
kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-431 somewhere?
How does one get an Atheros AR9271 802.11n working on CentOS 6.3?
Details below.
Thanks,
Michael

After a plain "yum install kmod-ath9k_htc" wanted to force an update to
kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-431.20.3.el6, I tried this. Same errors (less
verbose):

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles -nodigest
