Thanks for the help. I hope this works for him. He's out in California and I'm in Virginia. It's not easy fixing issues when you can't get your hands on the equipment.

That firmware is the correct firmware for that package - if you try to install that driver rpm you will find it actually Requires that firmware package so yum will pull it in automatically for you. > > You need to find out a vendor:device ID pairing of your device. For > details, please see ELRepo FAQ #4 at: > > http://elrepo.org/tiki/FAQ > > Akemi For more help (if required), please follow Akemi's advice above. I maintain these Ralink wireless driver packages for elrepo. I've had virtually zero feedback on whether they work or not - if they don't work for you then I'm happy to work with you to fix the issue, although the elrepo bug tracker/mailing lists are probably the best place for that. These particular vendor-supplied drivers are largely unmaintained by Ralink now - their developers appear to prefer to maintain the drivers in the kernel tree. To that end, the compat-wireless package may also contain drivers for your device, but we are unable to offer any more specific advice without knowing vendor:device ID pairing as mentioned by Akemi. Hope that helps. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Firmware can always be acquired from the vendor. You may not need updated firmware, anyway. But you want the drivers, of course. And that package *is* for that chip.

[CentOS] Ralink Corp RT5390 Wireless
Hey All, In looking for a solution for the subject wireless on my friend's Asus A54C laptop I found this entry: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=39054&forum=55 rt2860-firmware-26-1.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm kmod-rt5390sta-2.5.0.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm This solution appears to have worked for the RT3090. Would these be the right rpm's for my friend to install to get his RT5390 working? No wait, I found this using the Add/Remove software tool. The rt2860 rpm says, "This package contains the firmware required by Ralink RT28XX/RT30XX". I don't see a package for the RT53XX. What now Charley Brown? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
