One (more general, not CentOS-specific) problem that I have is that there's no network profile manager. Traveling among 4 different locations (none with DHCP) means constantly going in and changing my network settings. Anyone know of a program to do something like what OS X does?
There is a NetworkManager package for CentOS 4 and 5 which has a gnome "helper" UI, but I found that it didn't play well with ndiswrapper (which I needed because the bcm43xx driver didn't work for me) so I ended up disabling it. Also it seems to want to have only one network interface active at a time, i.e., I could not both plug in a wired network and activate the wireless with NetworkManager.
