I'm having a very frustrating problem connecting my wireless, I hope somebody can help me. I'm running an old-ish MSI Wind netbook (U100) with CentOS 6.7, which I'm new to (never used any RedHat OSs before).
Here's my lspci
So I found the driver on ELRepo but when I attempted to install it, I got a transaction error00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)

So then I installed a kernel debug patch, also from ELRepo, rebooted and tried to install the wireless driver again, to no avail.An unspecified transaction error has occurred. More information is available in the detailed report.
kmod-rtl8187se-0.0-2.el6.elrepo.i686 requires kernel(wireless_send_event) = 0xbab2c360
It keeps throwing this error, Requires: kernel(wireless_send_event) = 0xbab2c360 and disallows me to install the driver. I have to admit, that I don't know what this is. I looked at the .config files, I added repositories and updated the system, rebooted, and tried to install the driver again, and no dice. Does anyone have any advice? This is incredibly frustrating, but I do really like the OS and would like to keep using it, but I NEED wireless and soon. Thanks in advance, everybody.yum install kmod-rtl8187se

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