Hello Akemi,
Here is the details from my command line :-

So should I remove the kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 package from my installation first ?

Hello Akemi,
Thanks for your reply. I have seen the details in the thread and after reading that thread I
have
few questions :-
- Can I install the Centos Plus kernel with the existing one that is
distributed with Centos 5.2? I have read the information from the link http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus It looks like that I have to include / exclude the package. I had changed the settings inside /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
mirrorlist=
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep...
#baseurl=
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
includepkgs=iwl*
Remove this line ( includepkgs=iwl*). You do not need it. Instead, see Example #2 of the CentOSPlus wiki article. You need to add:
exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-PAE-*
in the [base] and [update] sections. This way, yum will get the kernel from the centosplus repo instead of the distro kernel.
After installing the centosplus kernel, reboot the system and try your wireless again. The iwl3945 is *part* of the centosplus kernel. More precisely, it is also part of the distro kernel except that it is disabled there.
