k, well, thats what you need to track down. you might dmesg | less, and search for that ath5k to see if there are any other clues around that POST Failed
you might just need a firmware blob or somethign, no idea, I haven't done wireless Linux in years.

John, i do thank you for all your help. greatly appreciated.
before i digging any further into things here, i believe i will log onto linuxwireless.org to see what i can find in way of drivers for card.
as for scanning for wifi in area, i believe 'war drive' progs will be best bet.
intent is not for hacking, i want to increase protection for when i start using wifi with laptop, which is going to be some more digging because centos does not see wifi chip.
all in all, i am going to have to educate myself on workings of wifi.
thanks again.
