Dear All,
i'm working on this Centos6.5 laptop, fully updated
*# uname -a** **Linux jvermeulen.ict 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux*
It's an Acer Aspire E1-571.
I can't get the Intel Centrino N 6235 to work. I've used this card on several different types of laptops and never had any trouble.
I think I have the packages installed for this card :

Sorry :) not paying attention.
modinfo iwlwifi and
dmesg /var/log/messages "iwlwifi" (I think this is how it appears in dmesg)
I have a feeling you will need the more recent drivers from elrepo.

No, don't do that. That package is old and unsupported. Your wireless chipset is supported by the distro and you should use the kernel driver.
As Tom C said, dmesg output above is telling you the problem. Find out why the firmware is missing.

when trying to install elrepo's kmod-compat-wireless :
Error: Package: kmod-compat-wireless-3.5.4-1.sn.el6.elrepo.x86_64 (elrepo) Requires: kernel(iw_handler_get_thrspy) = 0x9cdb99b7 Installed: kernel-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(iw_handler_get_thrspy) = 0x44d098b7 Installed: kernel-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 (@base) kernel(iw_handler_get_thrspy) = 0x44d098b7 Available: kernel-debug-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 (base) kernel(iw_handler_get_thrspy) = 0x9273aa6f You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
doing a yum provides:
