Installation Of Dongle Wifi (TP-Link: TL-WDN4200) Under CentOS 6.5 (Final)
Dear all,
I would like to know how I could run my dongle wifi TP-Link (Ref: TL-WDN4200, version 1) under CentOS 6.5 (Final).
Should I create by myself the corresponding driver or does exist another way?
When I ran lsusb I got:
Ralink Technology RT3573 Wireless Adapter
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Eric

You should have copied the whole line. It will show the device IP
pairing. Then check it against the ELRepo’s device list:

Dear Akemi,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have to jump between Win 7 and CentOS 6.5 as my computer contains both OS (dual boot). The ID of my wireless adapter is the following:
ID: 148F:3573
Do you think that I can use this one as my ID is not listed: kmod-rt2870sta
Thanks
Regards
Eric
The IDs must match. What you can do is to file a request to build the driver with ELRepo here:

Another (interim) solution is to use ELRepo’s kernel-ml:

I just checked it and it includes the rt2800usb driver that covers your device.
