HI all,
I had this problem before when installing centos 5.8 but i fixed it after hours searched online. However, when i update centos to 6.3, the wireless does not work. I followed the instruction [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless#head-bc7ae172923deff628cb8dd56098f3c07ad4c8ff]http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless#head-bc7ae172923deff628cb8dd56098f3c07ad4c8ff[/url] but it can not reload ipw2200. i also tried for ipw2100, and the results are
