Has anyone seen a supported hardware list on CentOS 6? I've been looking around for the last few days; even looked at RedHat's site but didn't find one.
I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card in it and I'm trying to find out if it's going to have native driver support for the WIFI.
I think most of the Dell Inspirons actually have a Broadcom 1390. There's plenty of posts on it on Fedora forum, not sure how much will be applicable to CentOS 6.
I took a look at the Fedora 15 live CD and it didn't have any idea what to do with the WIFI chipset. As I recall it didn't even see it.
Broadcom has license restrictions so even ElRepo guys wont create rpms, but there is howto, even for CentOS 5: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom

Wow I'd forgotten CentOS has a wiki; thank you!
