Centos Wifi Drivers not present Help Needed
-
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?

CentOS does not have broad hardware support for consumer laptops. It is really not a good choice for that. What made you choose hardware like Sony and an OS like CentOS? That is a very odd combination.
-
Try a live DVD / USB with Fedora, Mint, Korora, Ubuntu or similar. They might work in their live mode to tell you if they will support the hardware or not.

Remember to always use spaces after the period at the end of your sentences. I have to edit posts when you don't use the space bar.

Generally speaking, use fast releasing distro for consumer hw. Maybe third party repos can help but you end up with a patchwork.
