Because something works in ubuntu, or fedora, (both of which I consider "desktop" distros) doesn't mean that it'll work in all other versions of linux, because there are different kernel versions out there. Even kernel versions that are the same between distros, may have been compiled with different options. -- The Solo System Admin - Follow me - I follow you http://solosysad.blogspot.com/ Latest Entry: Bacula - Building from source -- Mister IT Guru At Gmx Dot Com

You will need the appropriate firmware installed, in this case iwl6000-firmware available from elrepo.org: http://elrepo.org/tiki/iwl6000-firmware
