[CentOS] Cannot get Centrino N 6200 wireless NIC to work Cento 6.4
I installed Centos 6.4 on my laptop and neither of the network interfaces will work. When I boot up to windows both the wired and the wireless network interfaces work. I have attached dmesg output for the wireless card. Reading through the messages it appears that OS cannot talk to the NIC. -- Selwyn Schultz selwy...@gmail.com c. 616-836-8896 iwlwifi: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree: iwlwifi: Copyright(c) 2003-2012 Intel Corporation iwlwifi :02:00.0: PCI INT A: no GSI - using IRQ 10 iwlwifi :02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 iwlwifi :02:00.0: pci_resource_len = 0x2000 iwlwifi :02:00.0: pci_resource_base = c9664000 iwlwifi :02:00.0: HW Revision ID = 0x35 iwlwifi :02:00.0: irq 32 for MSI/MSI-X iwlwifi :02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-6.ucode iwlwifi :02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-5.ucode iwlwifi :02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode iwlwifi :02:00.0: loaded firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532 iwlwifi :02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG disabled iwlwifi :02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS disabled iwlwifi :02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING disabled iwlwifi :02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TESTMODE disabled iwlwifi :02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_P2P disabled iwlwifi :02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN, REV=0x iwlwifi :02:00.0: HARDWARE GONE??

Re: [CentOS] Cannot get Centrino N 6200 wireless NIC to work Cento 6.4
I am very new to installing Linux on laptops. I got it working on another Toshiba I owned without to much trouble, and then decided I wanted to experiment with KVM so I bought this laptop with an I5 chip. Anyway I tried modprobe iwlagn and the driver is not found. I then did a search for it using find and again came up empty handed. Googling for Centos iwlagn seems to indicate that the module is a standard part of the Centos 6 build. But I seem to be missing this on my installation. I will do a fresh installation and see if that does not install the module.

If the wifi indicator is not lit it may be disabled. Most laptops have a function key sequence to enable/disable wifi/bluetooth. You may need to toggle this to get your wifi radio to turn on.

Top posting, as I just explained to my wife, is what Outlook does these days. Add at the *bottom*, not the top. Secondly, the excerpt I included said that if you can't, by default with the current standard repositories, yum install it, you might have to add the elrepo repository to your /etc/yum.repos by going there and installing the elrepo repository, and *then* yum installing from there. It also looks like it needs a kernel module, and that looks like it's firmware from one of these packages: http://elrepo.org/tiki/Packages#I mark mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Cannot get Centrino N 6200 wireless NIC to work Cento 6.4
The first thing I checked was the BIOS settings, and the radio is turned on. I have a clean install again and am still not working. I think the iwlagn driver was deprecated by the iwlwifi driver. In the dmesg output I saw that it lists with iwlwifi direver as being the Wifi Link AGN driver for Linux. Two messages jump out at me. Unable to init EEPROM and HARDWARE GONE?? I have tried toggling the radio on and off after booting but that does not seem to make a difference.
