Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 10:41:14 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
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:
# cat /boot/config-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 | grep LED CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y # CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_IWLAGN_LEDS is not set # CONFIG_IWL3945_LEDS is not set # 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 CONFIG_USB_LED=m CONFIG_USB_APPLEDISPLAY=m # LED devices CONFIG_NEW_LEDS=y CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS=y # LED drivers # LED Triggers CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGERS=y CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_TIMER=m CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_IDE_DISK=y CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_HEARTBEAT=m
Also, you will need the firmware for this device. Both rpmforge and elrepo.org have it...
yum install iwl5000-firmware

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

Glad to learn you've got everything sorted out. Thanks for reporting back.

It means that you have gpgcheck enabled but the key to verify the packages' signature is missing. Go check yum.conf(5) and do a little research on how to properly configure the rpmforge repository (IIRC they have a RPM you can install which will do the magic)
Frank.
