Ethernet 3c59x module not installed on CentOS 7.2.151

[charlweed]

Hi! This is my first time installing CentOS, I’m a long time Fedora user. I just wiped a Fedora 23 install from this machine, and installed CentOS 7.2.1511. Unfortunately, the 3c905B 100BaseTX card is not recognized. I can see it with lshw, but the 3c59x is not installed.
I expected that

Code: Select all

modprobe -v 3c59x

would show that the module is built into the kernel, but instead I get

Code: Select all

modprobe: FATAL: Module 3c59x not found

. Nothing in

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep -i 3c

either.

How should I proceed?
Thanks!

If you search the forums, you'd find useful hints. For example, this post. It's one of the drivers that were removed from CentOS 7. ELRepo fills the gap.

Thanks for the hint.
The answer for me was :
sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7. ... noarch.rpm
sudo yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
sudo yum -y install kmod-3c59x.x86_64

Now, maybe some future noob searching on this issue will find an actual answer, instead of just hints.
