You want to try installing the centosplus kernel.  Here is the
relevant bug tracker:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3544

The current cplus kernel has the following:

CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS=y
CONFIG_IWLAGN_LEDS=y
CONFIG_IWL3945_LEDS=y
# CONFIG_RT2400PCI_LEDS is not set
# CONFIG_RT2500PCI_LEDS is not set
# CONFIG_RT61PCI_LEDS is not set
# CONFIG_RT2500USB_LEDS is not set
# CONFIG_RT73USB_LEDS is not set

Please be sure to read
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus
before using the centosplus repository.
