I've upgraded my home server (which is also a router and an access point) from 5.2 to 5.3. All in all it was pretty flawless. Kudos to the CentOS team! Still, I'll update about few issues I've encountered:<\/p>\n
1. Atheros <\/strong>wifi driver: I've been using the madwifi<\/a> driver until now, which is not<\/strong> a part of the kernel because of licensing issues (contains proprietry firmware I guess). CentOS 5.3 introduced the ath5k<\/strong><\/a> driver, which is a free implementation. However, ath5k<\/em> still doesn't implement \"access point\" mode, so I had to disable it (renamed\u00c2\u00a0 ath5k.ko and ran depmod -a<\/em>), and reinstall madwifi 0.9.4 instead (simply running make<\/em>; make install<\/em>).<\/p>\n 2. udev.rules<\/strong> were overwritten, which cleared the changes I've made, in particular the \/dev\/snd permissions were reverted to CentOS default (no \"audio\" group, only the device owner can access audio), so I had to re-change the \/dev\/snd\/* file permissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve upgraded my home server (which is also a router and an access point) from 5.2 to 5.3.
