[elrepo] USB wireless adapter not working (4.15)

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi,
I upgraded the default 3.10 on centos 7 to 4.15 via the elrepo rpm
packages. I have a D-Link DWA 123 wireless dongle which is working on
ubuntu with kernel 4.10. However, with centos 7 it doesn't work and
the blue LED is off. As I attach the adapter, I see the following
messages in the log

Any idea to fix that? Does kernel correctly load the module?
