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

Re: WiFi Issue
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.

Re: WiFi Issue
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

Re: WiFi Issue
It is a package name. You would install it by running:
yum install NetworkManager-wifi
yum install NetworkManager-wifi

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

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