oh...
for me.. I had renamed the files for the rtl :
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin
I then, via yum, completed the update, which gave a successful update/install, and also installed the new kernel-firmware.
a modprobe rtl8188ee appears to have given wifi.. and i don't have the rtl8188-firmware in the list of kernels..
rpm -qa | grep kernel
this is all on centos 6.5 system (by the way...)

Sort of 'me too.' I have a rarely used Compaq 32-bit laptop running SL6 with the elrepo kernel-ml (3.10-ish) to get TV tuner support. I took it to a place with only wifi internet at the end of May. The wifi worked for two days and then went dead. Yesterday, with ethernet, I updated and wifi came back. I see that a new default kernel was installed at around the time it went away.On 04/07/16 13:40, bruce wrote:
Happy 4th guys..
I have a centos 6.5 box with a yum update error. (I know, this is fed,
but thought maybe I could get pointers here on this!)
The laptop runs kernel for elrepo, to be able to use the builtin wifi.
The update process, was the same as usual, as root, run "yum update"
never had an issue prior to this.
The error is:

Error Summary
-------------
so my question.. how/what do I need to do to resolve the error, and
still perfom the updates and not screw up the wifi.
By the way, in the event the wifi does screw up, I've got old spare usb
wifi dongles, but I'd prefer to be able to use the onbard wifi. The
laptop is a toshiba satellite
Thanks for any pointers!
I thought I used to use the kernel-ml-firmware, but found only kernel-firmware installed, with a conflict when I tried adding ml.
'yum erase kernel-firmware; yum install kernel-ml-firmware' worked, but I saw no difference after a reboot. Reversed the order, still no difference, and still ok.
The iwl3945 firmware is in its own package.
