the Intel 5100 pci wireless adapter appears to be detected and a reasonable driver is indicated (iwlagn) but the radio does not appear to be on, at least the little antenna like LED is off. The radio switch is on and the Bluetooth LED is on. Has any one conquered this yet?
I don't think the LEDs are configured in the current kernels:
You want to try installing the centosplus kernel. Here is the relevant bug tracker:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3544
The current cplus kernel has the following:
CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS=y CONFIG_IWLAGN_LEDS=y CONFIG_IWL3945_LEDS=y # CONFIG_RT2400PCI_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_RT2500PCI_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_RT61PCI_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_RT2500USB_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_RT73USB_LEDS is not set
Please be sure to read http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus before using the centosplus repository.
Thanks for your reply.
I did the iwl5000-firmware installation that Ned Slider advised and the radio appeared to start working. I then did the transition to the centosplus kernel, following the directions in the link that you provided, and then the LED started working.
Thanks again
