How to make TP Link TL-WN721N Wireless card work in RHEL 6.4?
Hi all,
I have installed RHEL 6.4 WorkStation in my PC. It works fine, except that I have a Wireless USB card TP-LINK TL-WN721N which does not work at all.
the output of dmesg is:
usb 2-1: new high speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0cf3, idProduct=9271 usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=48 usb 2-1: Product: USB2.0 WLAN usb 2-1: Manufacturer: ATHEROS usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 12345 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I tried installing the atheros firmware for the device (htc_9271.fw) in /lib/firmware, but to no avail. I tried ndiswrapper, but that too is not working out.
output of dmesg with ndiswrapper:
usb 1-5: new high speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0cf3, idProduct=9271 usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=48 usb 1-5: Product: USB2.0 WLAN usb 1-5: Manufacturer: ATHEROS usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 12345 usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint ndiswrapper version 1.58 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no) usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd ndiswrapper: driver netathuwx (,07/28/2011,7.7.0.102) loaded ehci_hcd 0000:00:12.2: force halt; handhake ffffc90000c40824 00004000 00000000 -> -110 ehci_hcd 0000:00:12.2: HC died; cleaning up usb 1-5: USB disconnect, device number 4 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:188): log: C0001389, count: 4, return_address: ffffffffa05c625f ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:191): code: 0x8a579000 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:191): code: 0xa ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:191): code: 0x0 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:191): code: 0x0 ndiswrapper (mp_init:211): couldn't initialize device: C000009A ndiswrapper (pnp_start_device:395): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0000001) ndiswrapper (mp_halt:254): device ffff88018a9ab6e0 is not initialized - not halting ndiswrapper: device eth%d removed ndiswrapper: probe of 1-5:1.0 failed with error -22 usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
