I found that it will work just fine with Linux Mint R14, but I want to use Centos 6.4. The driver and firmware used by Mint are the same driver and firmware versions as found in Centos 6.4, but they do not work with this adapter with Centos 6.4. Any other suggestions on how I can get the N 6200 to work with Centos 6.4? By the way I tried it with Scientific Linux 6.4 and it had the same dmesg errors as Centos 6.4. -- Selwyn Schultz selwynsr at gmail.com c. 616-836-8896
