[Arm-dev] wireless mac address

[cjvijf at gmail.com]

Actually, what I found out is that if something is wrong with the 
configuration, NetworkManager doesn't seem to work correctly and give a 
random MAC address.

Now I am trying to get Bluetooth to work, looks like I can't even see 
the device?


What is the latest version of Centos?  and is there still work being 
done on a 64 bit version?


thanks,


Ron
