Wireless USB Adapter TL-WN722N - AR9271

Post by takersdown » 2015/04/28 09:40:01

Hello everyone.
Im using CentOs 6.6 (32bit) on Virtualbox.
I cant install this wireless USB. (TL-WN722N)

I put the htc_9271.fw on /lib/firmware and after reboot. Didnt work.

I tried to install compat-wireless and i have 2 errors when i run "make".

Code: Select all

$uname -r
2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.i686

$lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
What should i have to do?
Ty.

When running under virtualbox, CentOS does not see the actual hardware.
It uses a virtual network adapter. It does not know nor care whether the host
is wired or wireless.

That would require VBoxGuestAdditions and USB Device Filters.
Why would you want to do that?
