Hi, I know this is a rather unusual request. Normally, people would complain about a card that *should* work, but here goes. I have a series of machines in a computer room, all equipped with a RT2561 wireless card. CentOS doesn't include support for that card, so what I usually do to install a system: 1) Install a *very* minimal base system (the bare minimum). 2) Install some development tools (gcc, kernel-devel) from the CentOS install CDs. 3) Copy over the driver source (rt2561-cvs-daily.tar.gz) downloaded on another machine. 4) Compile that driver and install it (plain make && make install). 5) Configure my network to use the wireless card. 6) yum update my base system once I have network. This method has the advantage of avoiding having to pull 20-meter Ethernet cables only to configure wireless :oD Now one thing puzzles me. I have the install CD set from 5.0. The default kernel is 2.6.18-8.el5. Once I updated the whole base system and rebooted on it, I'm using the updated kernel, e. g. 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 at this date. As far as I understand, each kernel has its own set of kernel modules under /lib/modules/`uname -r`. A quick ls on /lib/modules effectively shows me the two directories for the two kernels. I installed my wireless driver on the old kernel, which means normally after rebooting I'd have to build and install it again for my new kernel. Bu strangely enough, when I reboot on the new kernel, my wireless card still works without me having rebuilt the driver. I'm clueless about this. Niki
