Hello Akemi,

Thanks for your reply.
I have seen the details in the thread and after reading that thread I have few questions :-

1) 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&repo=centosplus

#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*
2) Now if I am running yum search iwl then it is not giving any result.

The main problem at my end is that it is showing two wireless devices but I am not able to join those devices.
Can you please tell me how can I troubleshoot wireless settings (like which are the important files that plays important role in wireless setup)?

Any document shared on internet that tells us step by step wireless setup would be of great help.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The  ipw3945 is deprecated and replaced by the iwl3945 driver.  So you
might to want to give the current one a try.  iwl3945 is enabled in
the centosplus kernel (but not in the distro kernel).  You would need
to install the firmware file into /lib/firmare.  For more details, see
this earlier post:
