WiFi Issue

[Jam Master J]

OK its:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 050d:945a Belkin Components F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU]

The device ID pairing 050d:945a shows that it is supported by the in-kernel driver r8712u. Try loading it by running:

modprobe r8712u

OK Thanks.. I entered that in Terminal and nothing seemed to happen. I'm new to Linux so I'm not sure if there was something else to it.

Is the NetworkManager-wifi package installed?

[Jam Master J]

Not that I know of. Is that a yum thing?

[Jam Master J]

I did this:
chkconfig NetworkManager on

and

service NetworkManager start

Both asked for my pw and then they were sending to /bin/systemctl

but NetworkManager -wifi says unknown option -wifi

[toracat]

It is a package name. You would install it by running:

yum install NetworkManager-wifi

[Jam Master J]

OK.. it said I had to be root so I added sudo and it was loading mirror speeds, etc and then said:

Package 1:NetworkManager-wifi-1.4.0-20.el7_3.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do

[Jam Master J]

Any theories on why it says Wi-Fi option is unknown with NetworkManager-wifi ?

[Jam Master J]

Should I just move on I guess? Is there another Linux OS that works better with Wifi?
