Hi all!
My thanks to the Centos team for continuing to slave away on C6 even with all the distractions!!!
Just did a test install on my eeepc 901 (on an external drive, til I'm comfortable with it) and find that it doesn't seem to know how to talk to the ralink 2860 wireless chipset.
A few months back I did a test install of Scientific Linux 6 and as I recall it (I may be mis-remembering) it "just worked".
So I enabled EPEL and RPMFUSION but they don't seem to have the driver either.
Clues appreciated.
Thanks again to all to work on this!

Oh well. there's nothing like posting a question to have the question answer itself within about 2 minutes.
Found what I need at elrepo.

Glad you got it working.
Yes, for the benefit of others, you needed to install the driver and associated firmware which are available from elrepo.org:

Hope that helps (others).
