Definitely worth install the ELRepo repo as you have a package from there installed now and then it will update when you run yum update. Your wireless card may also have drivers there too but you'd need to use their guide to find out which one based on the pci vendor/device id pair.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi,
I have a HP G60 445 DX laptop and I am facing the same issue.

I just wiped/formatted my hard disk and installed Cent OS 7 (minimal) version. While installing, during the network setup, I did not get any devices listed to select the network interface. I simply entered the hostname and continued. The setup completed smoothly and I did not errors. After logging in as root I noticed that except loopback nothing is listed while I query for ip a. I tried running lspci but I get lspci command not found.

I went ahead and download ElRepo rpm elrepo-release-7.0-3.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm. It installed successfully. The I tried to install kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm but it complained that I do not have all the dependencies.

Code: Select all

...

That elrepo package requires at least the kernel from CentOS 7.5. Your kernel (3.10.0-693.el7) seems to be from CentOS 7.4.
