I have a Asus laptop, from the new generation, and my network driver is present in the kernel since version 2.6.32(Jmicron). Is there any CentOS with this kernel? I tried to compile myself, but I failed. Is a bit harder than I thought. Is there any testing version of CentOS or some backports?

Try to compile driver again and paste error messages to centos mailing list.. usually you are only missing the development headers.. Anyway, is the centos really correct distribution for laptop ? -- Eero

You need the vanilla version (unless you want to mess with grsecurity) and you may also need to regenerate initrd (notice this kernels have ehci/uhci/ata etc builtin).

Even though the kernel version is 2.6.18 (CentOS/RHEL 5), it contains bits and pieces from newer kernels. There is also the elrepo repository, which contains a pile of additional kernel modules (drivers mostly) that RedHat does not build. Check the elrepo elrepo repository -- your driver might be there.> > Thanks > > MIME-Version: 1.0 > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!
