I have installed CentOS Linux 7 (Core). After installation the same Sony Laptop which is not detecting the Wifi Drivers. nm-ttols are already present in the machine but tried to check in Network connections in GUI but there is no option for Wifi. Anyone help me?
Generally speaking, use fast releasing distro for consumer hw. Maybe third party repos can help but you end up with a patchwork.
