Hi Tom,

Please see below, which was posted by Akemi earlier.

"Please follow the note in this blog:

http://elrepoproject.blogspot.com/2012/03/one-size-fits-all-compat-wireless-fits.html

and determine if your device is supported by the kmod-compat-wireless
package from ELRepo. If it is, then set up the elrepo repository by:

yum install elrepo-release

and install the latest version from the elrepo-testing repo (updated
note at the bottom). For more info please see:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless

and
