Your device uses the iwl3945 driver. I'm going to enable both iwl3945 and iwl4965 in the next update to the centosplus kernel (kernel-plus). You can of course install the kmod package that will be provided by ELRepo ( https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=959 ). |
 |
Thank you |
|
|
@pseud I have built the plus kernel with iwl3945 and iwl4965 enabled. It is available for testing at: https://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/8/plus/bug16635/ (version 4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.centos.plus.bug16635) Please give it a try and let us know if this kernel works for you. |

|
@pseud Did you have a chance to test the plus kernel? |

The only problem was the conflict with kernel-plus-tools-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.centos.plus.bug16635.x86_64.rpm and kernel-plus-tools-libs-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.centos.plus.bug16635.x86_64.rpm |

@pseud Glad to hear the plus kernel is working. Regarding the kernel-plus-tools-xxx packages, by design they conflict with the ones from distro kernel. You'd need to remove the distro ones if you want to install the plus kernel version. |
