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 :

*[root at jvermeulen jvermeulen]# yum list installed | grep wireless**

and I see no EM:

**[root at jvermeulen jvermeulen]# modprobe -v iwlwifi**
**[root at jvermeulen jvermeulen]#*

Still wireless is not showing up.

*[root at jvermeulen jvermeulen]# iwconfig**
**lo        no wireless extensions.**
**
**eth0      no wireless extensions.**
**
**virbr0    no wireless extensions.**
**
**virbr0-nic  no wireless extensions.**
**
**ppp0      no wireless extensions.**
**
**tun0      no wireless extensions.*

What am I doing wrong?

Friendly regards, J.
