hey every one i got the centos 5.5 and the following problem occuered: 1- the video display doesnot probe my card right. 2- the wireless card doesnot installed .
my laptop is dell studio1569: ( display card is intel hd arrandle , the wireless card is intel advanced centrino n6200 series ) but the fedora 14 did it will with both also the ubuntu?

I would first check that your hardware is compatible with CentOS - I'd do that by going onto RedHat's site, and checking their supported hardware list, if its there, we have a winner, if not, then I think it would be acceptable to not expect it to work 100%. Because something works in ubuntu, or fedora, (both of which I consider "desktop" distros) doesn't mean that it'll work in all other versions of linux, because there are different kernel versions out there. Even kernel versions that are the same between distros, may have been compiled with different options.

There is the fact that the CentOS kernel is much older than the Fedora/Ubuntu (and basically everything else) out there. In many cases, support for a driver may not be in the CentOS kernel, though it is in the Fedora or Ubuntu kernels---as was said, those two are aimed towards the desktop user and they are more concerned with supporting common, more current hardware for laptops and such.

<snip> Dumb question: have you contacted Dell? They *do* support Linux, and RHEL (at least on their servers). See if they have a driver, or can point you to one.

They also support Ubuntu on certain machines, and RHEL on some if not most Precision Workstations (they have supported RHEL and before that RHL on Precision Workstations for a long time).

"Support" is open to interpretation. I bought a Dell E1505 with Ubuntu preloaded. Their support pretty much said, "Your only option for troubeshooting is to reinstall the OS."
well, it`s not that dumb ass i ask u guys here that means i tried other ways to do so . but ok, if there is an update to the kernel can i do it without breaking the integerity of the system and its security,if there is not why the community don`t try to make one?

Feel free to build your own kernel, no one will hinder you, if you start such a task by creating your own repository. CentOS' primary goal is to be a binary-compatible community-version of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which means that you won't see any kernel-components in CentOS, that are not in RHEL. If you need a distribution with support for bleeding edge tech, there's Fedora for that and it is doing a great job at that.
- From what I have read so far, RHEL 6 (and therefore CentOS 6, once it's out) will bring improved support for notebooks.

Please wait for CentOS 6 - it may play with later hardware.

The Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6200AGN and 6300AGN Adapters are supported by the iwlagn driver in 5.5 and 5.6.
You will need the appropriate firmware installed, in this case iwl6000-firmware available from elrepo.org:
