So, for most machines a working Live CD means CentOS should work, but not on all. Unfortunately, I can not test how NetworkManager works with this machine. If you are installing your laptop from scratch, then I would recommend that you try installing CentOS-5.2 and see what happens. Also, you can look in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf to see if CentOS sees the wireless NIC as a network card and what driver it is trying to use ... or if you need something like external firmware, etc. > What kind of laptop is it? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
