I installed Centos 6.4 on my laptop and neither of the network interfaces will work. When I boot up to windows both the wired and the wireless network interfaces work. I have attached dmesg output for the wireless card. Reading through the messages it appears that OS cannot talk to the NIC. -- Selwyn Schultz selwynsr at gmail.com c. 616-836-8896 -------------- next part -------------- iwlwifi: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree: iwlwifi: Copyright(c) 2003-2012 Intel Corporation iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A: no GSI - using IRQ 10 iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: pci_resource_len = 0x00002000 iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: pci_resource_base = ffffc90000664000 iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: HW Revision ID = 0x35 iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: irq 32 for MSI/MSI-X iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-6.ucode iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-5.ucode iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532 iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG disabled iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS disabled iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING disabled iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TESTMODE disabled iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_P2P disabled iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN, REV=0xFFFFFFFF iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: HARDWARE GONE??
