LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] NetGear N150 not working with CentOS 6

Hi,

I am trying to connect a NetGear N150 wireles USB adaptor to my desktop system running CentOS 6. HAL is detecting the USB device but somehow the necessary drivers like ath9k and mac80211 are not loaded. I know that ath9k_htc should be the one to be used but I cannot be bothered yet.

I would very much appreciate some pointers on how to proceed. I am stuck and not too experienced :)

Thanks in advance.

Some output of modprobe -l

kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.ko
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ar9170/ar9170usb.ko
