[SOLVED by Centos7.6] Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
modprobe -r removes it, you need to run it again without -r to load it again
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
and, because it's a fresh install, I have no other kernels from which to boot so I could 'yum reinstall' this kernel.that card should be supported by the latest CentOS kernel.

Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
If there are any messages from the modprobe then they will be in /var/log/messages and/or dmesg output.

Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
I just did modprobe iwlwifi with no on-screen result. However, this then showed up in the messages log:
and this when I ran dmesg:
In addition, lsmod produces:
No wireless device shows up in 'nmcli'.

Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
OK - after much research, I am convinced I am waiting for CentOS 8, whenever that comes along. While visiting the Intel site where they state their support for Linux, I notice virtually all their modules now require kernel 4.14 +.
I guess I've almost resigned myself to the fact that my new laptop has to stay home, or can only go places where I can bring a network cable & plug-in. Yes - I've seen posts from folk who've "imported" a kernel ... I'm thinking I don't need the headaches that go with it.
Thanks for the help though; I do appreciate it.

P.S. Ordered a wifi USB stick in the meantime.

Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
Yes but RH backport massive chunks of the 4.x network code to the el7 3.10 kernel. Plus iwlwifi already claims to support that exact device according to modinfo. If you modprobe iwlwifi (if it isn't already) then run ip link sh do you see anything in that list?While visiting the Intel site where they state their support for Linux, I notice virtually all their modules now require kernel 4.14 +.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Intel AC-9462 driver/firmware
- or microcode?
Can it be backed-out with a 'yum erase' to see if that's blocking the devices/drivers? A post from mghe* got me wondering ... there's no logical reason why multiple adapters with 'supported' drivers aren't recognised by updated C7. This is just crazy. I'm in grasping-at-straws mode! I spent a good deal of money on this Dell but can only use Internet in rooms that have cable outlets.
