Wifi connection problem

Post by srinivasn » 2018/03/18 03:24:55

I have a similar issue - I have installed redhat 7 and centos 7.4 as dual boot.. My redhat can connect to wifi normally while centos cannot.. I use a laptop. output of `lspci -nn` is as below.

If wifi works in RHEL, applying the same settings that you have in RHEL to CentOS should make it work. Perhaps your RHEL installation has some device driver installed, and your CentOS installation does not?

Code: Select all

I've seen a few posts lately about the built in broadcom kernel module not being automatically loaded at boot.

Code: Select all

modprobe brcmsmac
should do it
